gitignore: remove !*.* rule that interferes with personal exclusions

[gchumillas]

Describe the bug

This gitignore rule (!*.*) prevents us from ignoring local files:
https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/.gitignore#L10

For example, I usually ignore all "test.txt" files, as I often use them to add private notes. Therefore, I add the following rule to the .git/info/exclude file:

test.*

But the !*.* rule is more relevant than the previous rules. Therefore, the previous rule has no effect.

Reproduction Steps

Add a rule to the .git/info/exclude file. For example:

test.*

Include a test.txt file into the project directory and execute the git status command:

git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        test.txt

As you can see, the test.txt file is listed in the "Untracked files" section.

Expected Behavior

The .gitignore file should not override local ignored files.

Current Behavior

The .gitignore file overrides local ignored files.

As a workaround we can tell git to assume .gitignore has not changed:

git update-index --assume-unchanged .gitignore

Then, we can add the files or directories we want to ignore after the !*.* rule:

# file: .gitignore
!*.*
# add here the files or directories you want to ignore
test.txt
PERSONAL_NOTES/
