It seems that autocrlf is currently so troublesome that most people end up
disabling it, and handling it in other ways (we certainly do).
Instead of keeping the names and trying to graft on something that is
almost backwards compatible, and forever live with names that we agree
are bad, what about:
Deprecate core.autocrlf and the crlf attribute.
Make these instead:
Configs:
core.eol = lf, crlf, native [default=native]
core.eolconversion = true, false, auto [default=unset]
Attribute:
eolconversion = true, false, auto [default=core.eolconversion]
