Subject: [PATCH] Add .gitignore

Taken from https://github.com/github/gitignore. I didn't include
everything: just things I think of as commonly used tools. venvs are
explicitly called out in the README and vscode is a very common editor
(it's what I'm using). Happy to drop the packaging stuff or otherwise
make it more targeted.
