editorconfig: leave patch files alone wrt trainling spaces

Browse Source 
It is perfectly valid for a patch file to have trailing spaces, when for
example an empty or space-only line is appears in a hunk: if the line if
part of the context, whether it be empty or with only spaces, there will
aways be the leading space introduced by the patch itsef, making for a
sapce-only line; if the line is space-only and removed (or added) that
will also appear as a space-only line.

Currently, our editorconfig wants to unconditionally drop trailing
spaces, so when one edits a patch file to add their SoB and Upstream
tags, such a patch would get badly mangled and would not apply, causing
quite some grief and questioning (sad experience looming in the recent
past here)...
