Show warning if user has set `files.trimTrailingWhitespace` globally

If the user defined files.trimTrailingWhitespace as true in the VSCode settings, we cannot prevent trimming the whitespaces if the user set trim_trailing_whitespace = false in his .editorconfig file. That’s why we should show a warning message if the global setting overrides the .editorconfig setting.

Possible candidates

The currently opened folder contains workspace settings that may override EditorConfig settings.

Workspace settings may be overriding EditorConfig settings. It is recommended that you remove the workspace settings in favor of EditorConfig.

The currently opened file contains workspace settings that may override EditorConfig settings.

The files.trimTrailingWhitespace workspace setting may be overriding the EditorConfig trim_trailing_whitespace setting for this file. It is recommended that you remove workspace settings that might override EditorConfig settings.

I think we should keep the message small and clear. The last one is too long and won’t fit into the popup box I’m afraid. Although we can make it a little shorter and use something like this

The files.trimTrailingWhitespace workspace setting is overriding the EditorConfig trim_trailing_whitespace setting for this file.

It’s up to the user to decide what they want to do in that case.

Is there a way to deactivate this warning? I like to see it once, but it gets annoying pretty quickly as it comes up on every succeeding save.
