Add .editorconfig file as a Project Template Item

[clrudolphi]

We've recently fixed issues and/or added features that can be influenced by settings in an . editorconfig file. The proposal here is to add one to the Visual Studio template shipped with the extension, either installed by default or made available as an 'Add New Item' template.

@clrudolphi or what about adding the info to the website?

@clrudolphi do you have a working example?

@clrudolphi do you have a working example?

An example of an .editorconfig? The right aligned table cells PR has one in it.

An example of a New Project Item? Take a look at the project Reqnroll.VisualStudio.ItemTemplates in the extension solution.

I don't see the example of the editorconfig in reqnroll/Reqnroll.VisualStudio#107?

Sorry about that. Here is what I used when testing the right-alignment issue:

root = true

gherkin_table_cell_right_align_numeric_content = true

@clrudolphi or what about adding the info to the website?

Yes. Needed. The documentation on the website for the extension is bare bones and in need of some love.

[gasparnagy]

I would definitely not add it to the project template (because usually set at the solution level anyway), and I'm also not so keen on adding it as a project item. So probably I would just document this better in the docs.
