top-level: Add .editorconfig file

This config file sets default formatting behaviour for a large number
of common editors, see https://editorconfig.org

It also ensures that https://forge.sourceware.org formats GCC code
correctly, because it defaults to tab_width=4 but will respect a
.editorconfig file if present in the repo.

ChangeLog:

	* .editorconfig: New file.
