[webkit-dev] Removal of trailing whitespace

[Matthieu Dubet]

We have an .editorconfig in the repository already, we could/should take
advantage of it.
There has been a commit in 2020 to not enforce trailing whitespace removal,
but we can change it to enforce non-change of trailing whitespace.

Best,
Matthieu
