ENH: add an editorconfig file for IDE code formatting

Summary

Add a generic editor config file to OTB sources to facilitate IDE code formatting. editorconfig is a generic tool with plugins for a number of IDEs.

See http://editorconfig.org/#overview

Rationale

It should facilitate code formatting of otb sources. I've tested the emacs plugin which works well.

ITK also has a clang-format configuration file which tries to replicate the Whitesmiths indent style. I'm not sure how well it works (I think I've tried it before and wasn't impressed), but it might be worth dropping into the repository root (it gets picked up automatically).
