[swift-evolution] Support for coding styles and "swift-format" tool

[Jacob Bandes-Storch]

It would be awesome if Xcode exposed per-file or per-project formatting
settings, and could enforce them in the editor. I hope someone from the dev
tools group will be able to comment (and help guide the implementation of
this) if there are plans for such a feature.
