Add .editorconfig file

.editorconfig files are widely supported and offer basic configuration
 options for the project.

This sets the indention style, line-ending, character set,  tells the
editor to make sure there's a newline at the end of the file and to
strip trailing whitespace.

For directories within the coreboot directory that would prefer a
different setting, additional  .editorconfig files can be placed in
those directories to override any of these settings.

See the EditorConfig website for more information.
