Normalize 80 char hard wrap, fix line encoding problems and try to prevent them via .editorconfig #16

Some files were hard wrapped to 80 chars, one was not and another one was mixed. When i tried to use

    fmt -80 file > file

to normalize the hard wrap I found some inconsistencies between Unix and Windows style line endings, which I fixed. I also introduced an .editorconfig file to try to prevent this in the future.

Thanks I'm doing a history rewrite to address some documenting bugs. I'll look at incorporating this into the beginning.

I've added the config and resaved all the files. I didn't use fmt, I ended up with an empty file, but I did use vim to wrap everything early in the history.

Great! Yeah I also think heavy history editing is best for this, to keep the commit log nice and clean. Don't really know why fmt leads to an empty file. Good luck
