Update .gitattributes to Enforce the Correct End of Line Sequence

[Zachary-Squires]

Description

When developing for OED on a Windows machine a common problem is either the IDE or Github itself converting the line endings from LF to CRLF, which then needs to be reverted. I've added a line "* text=auto eol=lf" to the .gitattributes file which will enforce LF line endings on all text files.

Thanks to @Zachary-Squires for this contribution. It follows what is suggested to fix this and looks fine. I cannot easily test as I don't have this setup but I know you did so I assume it works correctly. It should not cause any issues so seems safe to merge. Congratulations on another accepted contribution.
