Update EditorConfig

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current editorconfig rules are implementing coding standards that I do not agree with.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to open a dialog about which rules we should update to the editorconfig file to alig the coding standards more inline with modern development practices.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Some examples of items I would like to change:
- private variables should start with an underscore
_
- else/else if statements should be on a newline (currently the are inline)
Here is the editorconfig we used for the UWP behvaiors:
https://github.com/Microsoft/XamlBehaviors/blob/master/src/BehaviorsSDKManaged/.editorconfig
We could just use that if we want.
Thoughts?
We can break this down into two lists.
- Places where the existing codebase differs from the editorconfig e.g. else statements
- Places where we don't agree with the current rules e.g. private variables.
I'm closing this as any code formatting changes that need to be made, can be made on a case-by-case basis, and by the people who are active in the code base. Though, we'll want to make sure we try to align with other MS repos coding styles.
