Fix gitlab.EOLWhitespace vale rule warnings

feistel requested to merge feistel/gitlab:docs/bump-eolwhitespace-severity into master

What does this MR do and why?

While working on reducing vale warnings I noticed they were actually growing for some groups. Upon further inspection I noticed there are classes of warnings that were reduced to zero in the past but slipped in again with new files/contributions.

To try to contain the increase of vale warnings, this MR bumps the level of gitlab.EOLWhitespace to error.

The general approach with vale rules is to create minimal friction for contribution so the pipeline should break only if necessary. gitlab.EOLWhitespace is not severe enough to justify a pipeline failure.

This MR fixes the gitlab.EOLWhitespace warnings without bumping the severity level.
