.gitignore auto-generated files and vi .swp files #12

Address issue #11 by adding auto-generated files to git ignore. Also ignored vi .swp files because it can't hurt, and I noticed one pop up.

Hopefully all the auto-generated files were discovered by running make on the default target along with all these targets: arxiv-upload biblio docrepo.bib forcetex generate gitmeta.tex ivoatex-1.1.tar.gz ivoatex-install ivoatex-installdist ivoatex/tth_C/tth ivoatexmeta.tex package upload

I'm not sure about including *.swp. While it would suit a vim user like me, it's not specific to VOTable, so I'd have thought it should appear instead in the user's global config (core.excludesfile). If we try to gitignore all the kinds of files that different users' environments might dump into this directory it could get messy. However, if doing this is standard practice, fine.

Yes, I had the same thoughts about *.swp as I was adding it largely as part of the momentum of adding all the files that were showing up as modified. It is a piecemeal approach to address a nearly nonexistent problem, so I've removed it.
