Add .gitattributes file

The files marked as export-ignore here are not going to be
included in the tarball produced by 'meson dist' when using
meson >= 0.60.

Older versions of meson excluded a small subset of these files
automatically, but since we have more control now we can be
more aggressive and leave out anything that doesn't make sense
in a release tarball.
