[dmd-internals] LF and CRLF on git

[Daniel Murphy]

My git setup screams at me when I try to stage files with windows line
endings.  If we put this in the gitconfig...

An alternative would be to have the autotester reject pulls that add \r\n's.

Relying on all contributors to do the setup themselves doesn't seem like it
will work.
