Add a .gitattributes file (#6381)

Currently this just sets the git diff driver for C source code files.

Git can be told to apply language-specific rules when generating diffs.
Enabling this for C source code files (*.c and *.h) means that function
names are printed correctly. Specifically, doing so prevents "git diff"
from mistakenly considering unindented goto labels as function names.

This has the same effect as adding

    [diff "default"]
        xfuncname = "^[[:alpha:]$_].*[^:]$"

to your git config file.
