Removed vmlinux* rule because it matches too many useful files, replacing
it with rules matching filetype by filename (e.g. *.gz). Also unignored
.mailmap from the top directory. Added a comment telling the user how to
check for tracked files being ignored.

Sometimes I got this:

    $ git-status
    {snip}
    # On branch master
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       ncscope.out
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add"
to track)

Fix it.

With commit 3f1b0e1f ".gitignore update"
Linus's current git tree starts to ignore any "*.rej" files.
So "git status" no longer shows these files, but the ones who works with
quilt patchsets, this not makes life easier as expected.
Because sometimes a work flow (at least for me) requires
"quilt push -f" followed by "git status" to see unresolved merge
conflicts, work on these conflicts to correct them and finalize
the patch with "quilt refresh".

And if there are some "*.rej" files exists in tree, for whatever
reason, this means something goes really wrong there and i think
this situation not deserves to be ignored.

Somehow I ended up with the following in tree:

These are presumably temporary gcc files, which aren't interesting.

We ignore all the generated files called "vmlinux*" from the top-level
gitignore, but that also ends up catching a few files that we track, and
that people do edit.  Notably the "vmlinux.lds.S" file, that each
architecture has.

You can always use "git add -f" to override the ignore file, but we
might as well just make it explicit for this file.
