RFR: 8134984: Text files should end in exactly one newline

Hi,

I think I proposed a pretty good solution for the "jcheck" problem
back then in May (see the mailing list thread posted by Chris and the
quote below) and I got two positive reviews from Chris and Magnus.
Unfortunately neither are they "code-tools" reviewers nor am I a
"code-tools" comitter and it seems to be notoriously hard to get a
sponsor from that group :)

Quoting from my previous mail:

I've introduced a new attribute 'check_eof' in .jcheck/conf which
controls the behavior of the new feature:

# Test if we should check for a correct EOF (i.e. files end with
exatly one '\n')
# This behaviour is controlled by the 'check_eof' attribute in the conf file.
# -1 means to not check for EOF at all.
#  0 means to potentially check all the changes for a correct EOF.
#    any other positive number is interpreted as the revision number or change-
#    set ID from which on jcheck should start checking for a correct EOF.
# If the 'check_eof' attribute is missing, '-1' (i.e. no EOF check)
will be assumed.

This way we can change jcheck and add the new EOF checking without
changing its behaviour on any existing, jcheck-enabled repositories.
Afterwards, any single repository can enable the EOF-checking from an
arbitrary changeset on-wards.

Here's the webrev:

Is anybody willing to assist sponsoring this change?
