build: add .gitattributes for npm and other shims
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This issue has been described in -
nodejs#43860

On Windows system, git clone or git checkout on the repo turns LF line
endings to CRLF in the worktree.
This can happen due to many reasons like -
- git config --system core.autocrlf (set to true)
- git config --global core.autocrlf (set to true)
- git config --local core.autocrlf (set to true)
- git clone --config core.autocrlf=true ...

Adding gitattributes for the shims will not convert them to CRLF line
endings.

Also, there is a note[1] in test/README.md which says -
For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code
with the `autocrlf` git config flag set to true.

Reason for using build subsystem -
These shims are just copied in stage_package label of vcbuild.bat
