Support for editorconfig configuration files #56

Description

@kieran-ryan

Editorconfig configuration files can be placed at the root of a project to instruct tools, IDEs, etc. on the configuration to use - essentially a source of truth.

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.

Adding .editorconfig support would enable the tool to read and respect a user's central configuration. Assessment would need to be completed to determine whether this would be an opt-in feature - perhaps by specifying to use it in the pyproject.toml OR otherwise whether to autodetect and use the settings from a present .editorconfig file.
