docs: move core.excludesFile from git-add to gitignore
A section in "git add" documentation mentions core.excludesFile and explains how it works, but this is not specific to the command. Move this description to gitignore.txt to be more generic. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
