[emacs-w3m/emacs-w3m] support package-lint, using file .dir-locals.el (#104)

[Boruch Baum <notifications@xxxxxxxxxx>]

• package-lint is a common syntax checker for elisp files to encourage
  compliance with Emacs style guidelines.

• When a package (project) is split across more than one file,
  package-lint gets confused because it uses the elisp file name as
  the basis for the package namespace.

• File-local variable package-lint-main-file is used to avoid the
  confusion.

• We define the variable once in .dir-locals.el in order to avoid
  needing to create an stanza for file-local variables in each of the
  160+ files of the project.

• The variable needs to be set separately for the shimbun directory
  because of the separate namespace used there.

• Commit c790588 is a minor, questionable, and unrelated issue that
  arose when automating enforcement of tabs instead of spaces. See
  there and possibly drop the commit if undesirable.
