Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Update `.gitignore` file with more patterns

This adds some more files that are common for some of the tools known to
be used by the TFQ maintainers. Although common ignore patterns should
be put in an individual user's global gitignore file (something that can
be congigured in git), it turns out that Gemini CLI also reads the
`.gitignore` to determine what files to ignore in a project. Making the
project `.gitignore` file more comprehensive thus helps us use AI code
assistants more effectively.

+# -- useful for un-ignoring files that shouldn't be committed to git yet should

+# Gemini Code Assist.) See https://geminicli.com/docs/cli/gemini-ignore/.
