Description
When collaborating with others it could be really useful to support .editorconfig files:
https://editorconfig.org/
Please evaluate whether you would like to implement this. Maybe some code could be borrowed from KTextEditor (https://phabricator.kde.org/D4537) which already has support for this.
I would especially enjoy support for things like trim_trailing_whitespace, see https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig/wiki/Property-research:-Trim-trailing-spaces since that would help keeping a clean diff.

Research direction
Start by reading the .editorconfig specification and the referenced KTextEditor implementation to understand the requested behavior. Then locate TeXstudio's editor configuration and whitespace-handling entry points; done means deciding or documenting which properties are supported, especially trim_trailing_whitespace, and verifying the behavior in the editor.
