Say where a repository's own .gitignore and .editorconfig entries go (closes #103)

The canonical `.gitignore` and `.editorconfig` now each end with a comment saying a repository's own entries go below it and a re-vendor keeps them, as `.dockerignore`'s header already does; without it a re-vendor dropped a repository's binaries and test outputs from `.gitignore`. `.editorconfig` gains `[*.go]` with tabs, since `gofmt` decides Go indentation in every repository. `prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md`, both checklists and the Go styleguide say the same in plain sentences. Common outputs such as `*.test` stay out of the canonical `.gitignore`. This also covers #104. Model: opus-5-5

 # Completed Steps

+- 2026-10-06: The canonical `.gitignore` and `.editorconfig` now each end with a
+  comment saying the repository's own entries go below it and a re-vendor keeps
+  them (issue 103, which took in issue 104), as `.dockerignore`'s header already
+  does. `.editorconfig` gains a `[*.go]` section with tabs, since `gofmt`
+  decides Go indentation everywhere. `REPO_POLICIES.md` and both checklists say
+  that each of these two files is the canonical content followed by the
+  repository's own entries, which a re-vendor keeps, and the Go styleguide puts
+  `*.log`, `*.out`, `*.test` and binaries among those entries. Common outputs
+  stay out of the canonical `.gitignore`; each repository lists its own.
