Description
https://editorconfig-checker.github.io
In Swift Build we have a check to verify there are no files without a trailing newline or files with trailing whitespaces. It would be great to generalize this to an .editorconfig verifier -- we could add a soundness check that uses the python editorconfig-checker package installed via pip to achieve this.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Swift Build soundness check for missing trailing newlines and trailing whitespace, then read the editorconfig-checker documentation and its Python package. Add a generalized .editorconfig compliance check using the package, with completion indicated by validation of repository files against the configuration.
