I use vim, and do not enable these per-file settings. I don't think
any distributions enable them by default either. My opinion: I think
we can get rid of them.

I have used .editorconfig and .clang-tidy for other projects and liked
it. I tried using it with tabs, and the experience seemed less
polished but still worked.
