Add an .editorconfig; document git whitespace settings

Browse Source 
Most of the projects I work on don't use tabs, and while authoring my
first patch I had to wrestle with my editor to not introduce
whitespace editors.

The `.editorconfig` file is supported by a large number of editors
out of the box, and many more with plugins.

As a first-time contributor, I can't say for certain these settings
are totally correct, but thus far git and my editor are satisfied
enough.

I considered adding `git config --local format.signOff true` but
wanted to respect the warning:

    format.signOff
        A boolean value which lets you enable the -s/--signoff
        option of format-patch by default.  Note: Adding the
        Signed-off-by: line to a patch should be a conscious act and
        means that you certify you have the rights to submit this
        work under the same open source license. Please see the
        SubmittingPatches document for further discussion.

automatically respect most of this project's whitespace preferences.
Additionally, Git can help warn on whitespace problems as well:
