(36/212) 103 - new Service for Mode Option Panes in Editing Options Pane

I'm working on several file types, which have to be saved with different encodings / line endings for the resulting files to work. I'd like to be able to set these in the "Editing" part of the configuration, so that I don't have to change it manually for max 50% of the files I open.

A user interface for specifying mode-specific values for these settings is one thing; moving these settings from their current option panes (General and Encodings) to Editing is another. The lack of a "mode" combo-box in the option panes of these settings does not mean that these settings should move to another option pane; the current option panes can be enhanced to provide mode-specific settings. So, what do you think should be done?

Some of the code from SideKick (AbstractModeOptionPane) can be reused here. I opened a related ticket 1847089 which I think is a duplicate of this.

Why not Syntax Highlighting (this was already voted down, but I like it), Tool Bar (so that mode-specific icons follow the global ones on the tool bar), and possibly Shortcuts (this might be a lot of work)? Maybe it would be better to split all the settings into mode-specific and non-mode-specific, and factor the mode combo box out so that it doesn't appear on each pane.
