Consider using CRLF on Windows for new line

[jftuga]

On Windows, if you want to get an exact copy, consider using CRLF new lines...

		// Keep writing to the same file, increment counter
		line := fmt.Sprintf("%s\r\n", scanner.Text())
		if _, err := fmt.Fprintf(currentFile, line); err != nil {
			log.Fatal("error writing to file:", err)
		}

This way, when you want to verify all of the parts are equal to the original file:

file-spliter.exe -l 1500 -f big.csv
cd parts
copy /b part_1.csv + /b part_2.csv + /b part_3.csv + /b part_4.csv the_same.csv
md5sum the_same.csv ..\big.csv

Now, the_same.csv and big.csv will have matching MD5 checksums.

Of course, you wouldn't want to do this for files that only use CR for new lines.

So, how should the check look like before I insert a \r code?

I'm fine with being more correct about what goes into smaller parts of the file, I'm just not sure how the fix should look like. :)

I created a PR for this.
