Subject: [PATCH] .gitignore: remove editor- and OS-specific files

Whenever Vim opens a file, it creates a .<filename>.swp file in the same
directory as the file. Emacs adds *~ backup files. macOS creates
.DS_Store files. Other editors and OS' surely do their own thing. Rather
than add each one's own swap/backup file to this .gitignore, encourage
users to add the corresponding items to their system-wide gitignore
files.
