I tried this one just now:
https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker.javascript
I fixed all the issues by updating my patchset to use "unset" for
insert_final_newline instead of "false".
All other files were already clean, which makes sense because the new
editorconfig rules are exactly the same as gitattributes (which I'm
guessing we are checking in CI/buildfarm). So I don't think it makes
sense to introduce another tool to check the same thing again.
