Running `fbt vscode_dist` should ignore IDE files locally via `.git/info/exclude` rather than via `.gitignore`

[AJMansfield]

Describe the bug.

When running fbt vscode_dist in order to set up an existing project for VSCode integration, fbt appends the IDE-specific ignores to .gitignore.

This is often the proper behavior when setting up preferred tooling for a project as a whole, but it's usually not appropriate to make changes specific to one's own tooling to a collaborative project -- even just a .gitignore line.

The correct way to locally ignore local IDE files is to instead append those lines to .git/info/exclude.

Reproduction

$ git clone some@example.com:collaborative/project.git
$ cd project
$ fbt vscode_dist
$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   .gitignore

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

@hedger ?

@AJMansfield fbt is designed for running from firmware's source code root, not from anywhere else. And it comes with its own static .gitignoe, which it never modifies. I couldn't reproduce the issue using your instructions.

Maybe you meant ufbt and deploying app code template?

Looks like quite a lot has shifted in the toolchain since I last took a look at this, but I'm guessing you're right and this complaint would be about ufbt now, under the assumption that it's even still an issue lol. The scenario I remember encountering this in was with setting up a project for a custom flipper app.

@AJMansfield can you test all your use cases with latest ufbt and sdk versions. Or it's ok to close this issues?
