Summary
As a repository we need to have consistent line endings so that we can resolve diffs sanely. Right now we haven't had an opinion on this. But some CRLF line endings caused major merge conflicts on #13278 and was preventing unraveling an otherwise simple merge conflict resolution. This commit sets a global default to use LF line endings for all text files to prevent such issues in the future.
