[Feature] Migrate the hg-style.xml to.editorconfig

[returnToInnocence]

Background

While working on #2457, we noticed that we were using both hugegraph-style.xml and .editorconfig to control the style of our code, so we wanted to try combining the functionality of these two files into a single file

Feature Description

• Migrate the code format control configuration to .editorconfig

Some advantages

• The .editorconfig file can define coding conventions that cannot be defined by hg-style.xml, such as insert_final_newline
• The .editorconfig file does not require the user to make any additional configuration, such as importing code style. If this file exists in the project, it will be automatically invoked by default, and code sytle will be overwritten

  This is if the user allows the EditorConfig support of 🙈 IDEA to be enabled

What need to do

• Migrate the hg-style.xml to .editorconfig
• Add code format style for .md

Reference

• apache-dubbo
• IDEA official documentation about EditorConfig
  

How do I test the correctness of the results

• TODO(It's a shame that I don't have a practical way to make sure it's correct😭)

To test the correctness of the results after migrating the code format control configuration from hugegraph-style.xml to .editorconfig in the incubator-hugegraph project, you can follow these steps:

1. Code Formatting Tools Compatibility: Ensure that the tools or IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) used by the project's contributors support .editorconfig. Most modern IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, and Visual Studio Code have built-in support or plugins available for .editorconfig.

2. Automated Formatting Check: Implement a CI (Continuous Integration) pipeline step that checks if the code conforms to the .editorconfig settings. This can be achieved by using tools like checkstyle for Java, which can be configured to use .editorconfig directly or through plugins. For example, the eclipse-cs plugin allows Checkstyle to work with .editorconfig.

3. Manual Review and Testing:

   • Review Changes: Manually review a significant sample of the code changes to ensure that the formatting changes are as expected.
   • Test Suite: Run the project's test suite to ensure that the code changes have not introduced any functional regressions.

4. Community Feedback: Encourage the project contributors to pull the latest changes and report any issues or unexpected changes in code formatting. This feedback can be invaluable in identifying edge cases or configurations that may have been overlooked.

5. Documentation: Update the project's documentation to inform contributors about the migration to .editorconfig and how they can configure their IDEs or editors to adhere to the new formatting rules.

By following these steps, you can systematically test and ensure the correctness of the results after migrating to .editorconfig for code formatting in the incubator-hugegraph project.

Regarding the structure of the hugegraph-style.xml file in the incubator-hugegraph project, it provides a comprehensive set of configurations for code styling, particularly focusing on Java, XML, and YAML languages, ensuring consistency and readability across the project's codebase. You can reference this structure when creating your .editorconfig file to ensure that all necessary formatting rules are covered.

For more details, you can refer to the .editorconfig file and the hugegraph-style.xml file in the incubator-hugegraph project.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
