Code Issues Proposed changes

Dissuade .gitignore references to personal tools

Browse Source 
Developers run all sorts of different tools within Git repositories,
any of which can leave their own special trashfiles all over the
place. We can't every hope to catalog them all, so better to
recommend developers simply configure a global core.excludesfile to
filter the irrelevant files which tend to get created by their
personal choice of tools. Add a comment block explaining this, for
clarity.

We can, and should of course, continue to list files created by the
tools recommended by our workflow (test frameworks, documentation
and packaging builds, et cetera).

This change is a port of Ib58a57267b064e4142686de6c37a70dbff04b9a7
from the openstack-dev/cookiecutter repository.

# Don't add patterns to exclude files created by preferred personal tools
# (editors, IDEs, your operating system itself even). These should instead be
# maintained outside the repository, for example in a ~/.gitignore file added
# with:
#
# git config --global core.excludesfile '~/.gitignore'
