Subject: [PATCH] .gitignore: Drop auto-generated content

From [1]:

  Which file to place a pattern in depends on how the pattern is meant to be used.

  * Patterns which should be version-controlled and distributed to
    other repositories via clone (i.e., files that all developers will
    want to ignore) should go into a .gitignore file.

  ...

  * Patterns which a user wants Git to ignore in all situations (e.g.,
    backup or temporary files generated by the user's editor of
    choice) generally go into a file specified by core.excludesFile in
    the user's ~/.gitconfig. Its default value is
    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set
    or empty, $HOME/.config/git/ignore is used instead.

So editor files are not appropriate for the project's
versioned-controlled .gitignore.  We could keep the Go stuff, but it's
not clear to me if we have tooling that generates any of those outside
of the temporary build directories which already have manually-curated
.gitignore entries.
