Make imports work regardless of cwd, add gitignore #4

Hi!

After installing the program i noticed that due to how python resolves local modules, i could only run lexifer from the source directory. To remedy this, i modified the program to automatically change to its source directory before local imports, then return to the caller's working directory afterwards so that relative paths can still be used for the input file. On my linux system this works as intended.

While i was at it, i also created a .gitignore file to stop the __pycache__ directory from showing up as untracked.

I hope these changes are helpful :)
