.editorconfig file

[HarsheetKakar]

Description of the problem

We should have a .editorconfig file instead of tests for endline and trailing whitespaces.

Example of the problem

Currently we have to explicitly review each PR for extra endline, trailing whitespace etc.

References/Other comments

We can simply insert these rules and dev's editor will enforce them for us.

root = true

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
end_of_line = lf
charset = utf-8
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true

Is this file compatible with any editor/IDE?

Currently we have to explicitly review each PR for extra endline, trailing whitespace etc.

Quality tests fail when there are trailing newlines and trailing whitespaces.

works with many out of the box (eg vscode, pycharm) but in some editors like atom a plugin is needed to be installed

I have seen that in many PRs it gets overlooked and newcomers dont understand why thier code is failing. .editorconfig just makes it that much easier and removes the need of most of the quality tests

Okay then, we can add this file without removing anything from the package.
