    Add top-level .editorconfig file · 459140ad

    Add a .editorconfig [1] file.  This helps configure editors
    automatically with the right whitespace settings.  It will help me,
    since I need to juggle with different whitespace settings for different
    projects.   But I think it can also help newcomers get things right from
    the start.
    
    Some editors have native support for reading these files, while others
    require a plug-in [2].  And if you don't want to use it, then this file
    doesn't change anything to your life.
    
    I added rules for the kinds of files I edit most often, but more can be
    added later.  I assumed that the rules were the same for GDB and the
    other projects, but if that's not the case, we can always put
    .editorconfig files in project subdirectories to override settings.
