The original ignore was far too general and results in eliminating packages
named "db" or "project", for example. These are not that uncommon for package
names. Fixes#921.
This commit adds a global ignore file for SlickEdit, a commercial editor.
SlickEdit will create the following files when the user sets up a workspace:
*.vpw Workspace file. Contains a list of project files associated with
the workspace.
*.vpj Project file. Contains the project’s settings, including the list
of source files.
*.vpwhist Workspace history file for Windows. Contains user session
information (list of open files, debugger breakpoints, etc.)
*.vpwhistu Workspace history file for UNIX/Linux/MacOSX. (Same as above.)
*.vtg Workspace tag file. Contains a database of source code symbols.
It is assumed that GitHub users will generally not want to store their
workspace and project files in a repository, so those files are ignored
globally. However, those files do not contain user-specific data so they
could be stored in a repository and shared among developers if desired for
a particular project. This can be done by adding rules like ’!*.vpw’ and
‘!*.vpj’ to the project’s .gitignore file.
The workspace history and tag files contain user-specific data, so they
should not be stored in a repository.

Searching for ‘vpwhist’ will lead to the section that discusses storing
these files in a repository.
- Ignore '*.moc' files (foo.moc created when foo.cpp contains a Q_OBJECT.)
- Ignore '/.qmake.cache' and '/.qmake.stash' as does the official Qt Creator project.
- add the `build/` directory to the .gitignore list (now created by pub).
- add the `.dart.precompiled.js` files (created by dart2js) to the ignore list.
And, sort and re-order the file.
These aren't really common patterns in the Node world, and if a Node project includes one of these types as files, they're as likely to want to include them in the project as not (`*.csv` is as likely to be a data source as `*.json`).
