refactor: make code more idiomatic

- Added standard .gitattributes file for Zig projects.
- Reworked build.zig a little, hopefully it's a bit clearer. Also, now zig build will run all steps.
- outer: while in examples was redundant since there's only one loop to break from. switch expressions don't allow breaking from them, so breaking is only for loops, i.e. while and for.
- When returning a struct instance from a function, the compiler infers the return type from function signature, so instead of return MyType{...}; , it's more idiomatic to write return .{...};.
- Logging adds a new line by default, so you don't usually need to write \n like here: log.debug("event: {}\r\n", .{event});.
