Git normally considers trailing whitespace at EOL or blank lines at EOF
to be mistakes, and with the "apply.whitespace" configuration set to
"fix" Git fixes these mistakes when applying, cherry-picking or rebasing
commits. Most of the times this is desirable behavior, but spaces (and
even more empty lines) are significant in reposurgeon tests.

Add a .gitattributes file to ensure that Git ignores all whitespace in
the test/ directory.
