maint: Tell git that *.py files should use python diff hunks
Git's default hunk pattern recognizer favors the C language, but it
also includes several built-in diff styles that give saner results in
other languages. In particular, telling git to treat all .py files as
python changes the beginning of diff hunks as follows:
| --- a/python/qemu/machine.py
| +++ b/python/qemu/machine.py
| -@@ -337,12 +337,12 @@ class QEMUMachine:
| +@@ -337,12 +337,12 @@ def _post_shutdown(self) -> None:
| self._qmp.close()
which makes it much easier to tell what function a patch is touching,
rather than a non-descript listing of what class contains the changes.
Sadly, our python files that don't use .py suffix (such as numerous
iotests) do not benefit from this glob.
