Our repo already contained an .editorconfig file, but it was not kept
up to date with .gitattributes. This adds a script that keeps these
files in sync. A big advantage of the editorconfig file is that it
many editors/IDEs get automatically configured to trim trailing
newlines and add a final newline on save, while .gitattributes only
complains about these problems instead of automatically fixing them.
This also adds rules to .gitattributes for Python files as well as for
C files in pg_bsd_indent directory (which have a different tab_width
than most C files due to being vendored in).
