Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next] add .editorconfig file for basic formatting

EditorConfig is a specification to define the most basic code formatting
stuff, and it is supported by many editors and IDEs, either directly or
via plugins, including VSCode/VSCodium, Vim, emacs and more.

It allows to define formatting style related to indentation, charset,
end of lines and trailing whitespaces. It also allows to apply different
formats for different files based on wildcards, so for example it is
possible to apply different configurations to *.{c,h}, *.json or *.yaml.

In linux related projects, defining a .editorconfig might help people
that work on different projects with different indentation styles, so
they cannot define a global style. Now they will directly see the
correct indentation on every fresh clone of the project.

Add the .editorconfig file at the root of the iproute2 project. Only
configuration for the file types currently present are specified. The
automatic whitespace trimming option caused some issues in the Linux
kernel [1] and is thus not activated.

See https://editorconfig.org
