style: add pre-commit hooks and editorconfig

Without wanting to overload the pre-commit hooks, this adds a few checks
on the commits to ensure validity of files and some basic formatting as
supported by eslint.

To help standardise formatting in the future, an `.editorconfig` file
has also been added to the repository.

More time-consuming checks are done pre-push to avoid impacting the
developer experience during local development.

By virtue of using `pre-commit`, only modified files are checked which
ensures older files are incrementally updated.
