docs: move editorconfig.txt into plugins.txt

It helps to have plugins living in one common area, because it signals
to users the mechanisms for controlling them, which are typically driven
by keymaps and autocmds rather than builtin options.

We can always revisit if plugins.txt gets "too big" (for example, we may
want to introduce "project.txt" for the project concept, where
editorconfig and 'exrc' are relevant), but for now it's rather unusual
for editorconfig.txt to have its own dedicated helpfile.

==============================================================================
EditorConfig integration *editorconfig*
Nvim supports EditorConfig. When a file is opened, after running |ftplugin|s
and |FileType| autocommands, Nvim searches all parent directories of that file
for ".editorconfig" files, parses them, and applies any properties that match
the opened file. Think of it like 'modeline' for an entire (recursive)
directory. For more information see https://editorconfig.org/.
*g:editorconfig* *b:editorconfig*
EditorConfig is enabled by default. To disable it, add to your config: >lua
vim.g.editorconfig = false
<
(Vimscript: `let g:editorconfig = v:false`). It can also be disabled
per-buffer by setting the |b:editorconfig| buffer-local variable to `false`.
Nvim stores the applied properties in |b:editorconfig| if it is not `false`.
*editorconfig-custom-properties*
New properties can be added by adding a new entry to the "properties" table.
The table key is a property name and the value is a callback function which
accepts the number of the buffer to be modified, the value of the property in
the `.editorconfig` file, and (optionally) a table containing all of the other
properties and their values (useful for properties which depend on other
properties). The value is always a string and must be coerced if necessary.
Example: >lua
require('editorconfig').properties.foo = function(bufnr, val, opts)
if opts.charset and opts.charset ~= "utf-8" then
error("foo can only be set when charset is utf-8", 0)
end
vim.b[bufnr].foo = val
end
<
*editorconfig-properties*
The following properties are supported by default:
charset *editorconfig.charset*
One of `"utf-8"`, `"utf-8-bom"`, `"latin1"`, `"utf-16be"`, or
`"utf-16le"`. Sets the 'fileencoding' and 'bomb' options.
end_of_line *editorconfig.end_of_line*
One of `"lf"`, `"crlf"`, or `"cr"`. These correspond to setting
'fileformat' to "unix", "dos", or "mac", respectively.
indent_size *editorconfig.indent_size*
A number indicating the size of a single indent. Alternatively, use the
value "tab" to use the value of the tab_width property. Sets the
'shiftwidth' and 'softtabstop' options. If this value is not "tab" and the
tab_width property is not set, 'tabstop' is also set to this value.
indent_style *editorconfig.indent_style*
One of `"tab"` or `"space"`. Sets the 'expandtab' option.
insert_final_newline *editorconfig.insert_final_newline*
`"true"` or `"false"` to ensure the file always has a trailing newline as
its last byte. Sets the 'fixendofline' and 'endofline' options.
max_line_length *editorconfig.max_line_length*
A number indicating the maximum length of a single line. Sets the
'textwidth' option.
root *editorconfig.root*
If "true", then stop searching for `.editorconfig` files in parent
directories. This property must be at the top-level of the `.editorconfig`
file (i.e. it must not be within a glob section).
spelling_language *editorconfig.spelling_language*
A code of the format ss or ss-TT, where ss is an ISO 639 language code and
TT is an ISO 3166 territory identifier. Sets the 'spelllang' option.
tab_width *editorconfig.tab_width*
The display size of a single tab character. Sets the 'tabstop' option.
trim_trailing_whitespace *editorconfig.trim_trailing_whitespace*
When `"true"`, trailing whitespace is automatically removed when the
buffer is written.
