Configure git to handle line endings automatically

[jaitjacob]

Configure Git to handle line endings automatically with people who use different operating systems. The advantage of this is that your end of line configuration now travels with your repository and you don't need to worry about whether or not collaborators have the proper global settings.

I don't think this patch is working.

I disabled my Git config to restore Git's defaults. I then cloned a fresh repo on my Windows machine with this branch. Then I followed the instructions to build quick-lint-js. git status shows that there were changes:

> git status

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

(The change to test/test-configuration-loader.cpp is my fault. I had to make a change manually in order to successfully build. Seems like a bug in master unrelated to your patch...)

How did you test this patch? Maybe I'm confused about what it's supposed to be doing exactly.
