mercurial: add editorconfig

Editorconfig (http://editorconfig.org/) is a file format helping define coding
styles like spaces, tabs etc. It supports a wide range of editors. Some well-
known projects like ruby and zsh are using it already.

This patch adds a simple .editorconfig, making it clear we use 8-char tabs in
C code, 4-char spaces in Python code, and we don't keep trailing spaces.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
