Rollup merge of #63373 - RalfJung:gitignore, r=alexcrichton

gitignore: add comment explaining policy

Based on #63307 (comment), I added a comment what I think should be gitignored and what not. This is just a proposal, obviously.  Also see #53768 for some more discussion.

The summary is that if there are junk files that you create locally and are fine leaving around (such as `mir_dump`), git has the option for you to add them to `.git/info/exclude`. Others might prefer to keep their working dir clean of those same junk files, so we shouldn't just ignore them for everyone.

I then also cleaned up a few more things, but there were many things that I had no idea where they came from so I didn't touch them.
