I was going to wait to do this, but I was starting on something else in
here and I kept hitting format by habit since I'm honestly just used to
always having it. I think it's safe to say that most Scala developers
will be used to the default style that scalafmt gives you, so I'd like
to propose that we add this in along with scalafix to organize imports.

One huge concern is always that changes like this make it hard to get a
good git blame, however with modern git, this really isn't an issue
anymore. You can read more about his here:

I recently used the strategy outlined in that article in the
sbt-scoverage plugin:
scoverage/sbt-scoverage#351 and it seems to work
quite well.

I'll leave this open for now just to see if there is any opposition from any interested
parties. If not, I'll merge this is and follow it up with a pr introducing a .git-blame-ignore-revs
which can then be used to locally ignore the entire commit when using git blame. Then
we won't lose any usefulness of the blame.
