We have a lot of .rst documentation; use editorconfig rules for those.
This sets the default tab width to 8, which makes indentation consistent
and avoids requiring developers to adjust editor settings manually.

Setting 'root' to 'true' prevents the editor from searching for other
.editorconfig files in parent directories. However, a common workflow
involves generating a patch with 'git format-patch' and opening it in an
editor within the kernel source directory. In such cases, we want any
specific settings for patch files defined in an .editorconfig located
above the kernel source directory to remain effective. Therefore, remove
the 'root' setting from the kernel .editorconfig.

Some editors (like the vim variants), when seeing "trim_whitespace"
decide to do just that for all of the whitespace in the file you are
saving, even if it is not on a line that you have modified. This plays
havoc with diffs and is NOT something that should be intended.
As the "only trim whitespace on modified lines" is not part of the
editorconfig standard yet, just delete these lines from the
.editorconfig file so that we don't end up with diffs that are
automatically rejected by maintainers for containing things they
shouldn't.

EditorConfig is a specification to define the most basic code formatting
stuff, and it's 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 configs to *.{c,h}, *.py and *.rs.
In linux project, defining a .editorconfig might help to those 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.
