crlf vs lf in templates

See original GitHub issue

I used to be able to do dotnet new and it would create project that could be read in notepad. Since the new engine was changed this is no longer the case. There are plenty of debates that could be had about how to do this right. The new behavior may be the right default, maybe not? Maybe there should be an option?

I think we should change to CRLF and then see if we get any user feedback. But I don’t think this meets any bar for any release that’s locking down.

I’m trying to use a custom template on Windows but getting LF in all files, except the few specified other than text=auto in .gitattributes, so this doesn’t seem to be fixed. 😕

Not sure it’s relevant but we build the NuGet package for the custom dotnet template with dotnet sdk 3.1.201 in a Docker container on Linux.
