    [pre-commit] Don't require text type for check-whitespace hook
    
    The check-whitespace hook has a line:
    ...
    types: ['text']
    ...
    
    Drop this, to make the check-whitespace hook see the same files as git usage
    outside pre-commit:
    ...
    $ git diff-index --cached --check $(git hash-object -t tree /dev/null) gdb*
    ...
    
    Instead, add .gitattributes files in gdb/doc and gdb/testsuite.
