Feature description

Support the spelling_language for the .editorconfig files.

As a complete spell checking (parse the source code comments to only check them, allow defining own valid words in some dictionary, ...) is quite complex, it seems to out of scope for ecformat (at least for now). Therefore, ecformat should only validate that the value of spelling_language in every .editorconfig file is valid.

This should be done only ones per .editorconfig file and spelling_language inside, not for every file to which the property applies to. Maybe, the fix command only can to the same as the check command here, because the invalid value can be anything.

Benefits

To ensure that a valid language is set in the .editorconfig files, to allow editor to use the desired language for spell checking.
