feat: respect global gitignores

[nicktimko]

On my workstations, I'll usually have .DS_Store in a Mac's global Git ignores, or desktop.ini for Windows. That global gitignore is found via the core.excludesfile Git config.

Don't know how it should be implemented, but if I run git config --get[-all] core.excludesfile (git config --list --show-origin --show-scope drills into it more) it shows the file(s) to look at. I think .git/info/exclude is also possibly a repo-local exclude file to use, but I think that's kinda rare over a repo-root .gitignore.

Thanks for the idea
The extension uses globby's isGitIgnoredSync and seems like somebody else liked your idea :)

I didn't dive into the issue there but someone suggested to take it a few months ago

In the meantime, you can exclude .DS_Store and other files using compareFolders.excludeFilter
