[PATCH] D19031: clang-format: Flexible line endings

Too late ;-) We've successfully integrated it as the engine behind our auto-formatting feature, passing only the minimal context necessary.
We tried at first to supply the full file context, but that turned out to be much too slow in larger files. (We did a fair bit of testing with some of the real code our users have written.)

We can, of course, change the newlines on the IDE side instead (indeed, we already have a few transforms on both the input and output). But it seemed to us that it would make more sense to have ClangFormat generate the correct newlines in the first place given that this is what it already attempts to do with its newline detection feature. And we felt this minor extension would be useful to others.
