[PATCH v4] selftests: tpm2: create a dedicated .gitignore

The tpm2 selftests produce two logs: SpaceTest.log and
AsyncTest.log. Only SpaceTest.log was listed in selftests/.gitignore,
while AsyncTest.log remained untracked.

This change creates a dedicated .gitignore in the tpm2/ directory to
manage these entries, keeping tpm2-specific patterns isolated from
parent .gitignore.

Oh no, I realized there was a mistake in v3. I wrote tpm2/*.log in the
tpm2/.gitignore file, which is unnecessary since tpm2/.gitignore is
already scoped to the tpm2 directory.
All entries are automatically relative to the tpm2 directory.

I’ve fixed it by removing the redundant tpm2/ prefix from the entries
in tpm2/.gitignore.

Apologies for not catching this earlier, I tested it after submitting
the patch because I was confident v2 was correct, but the issue was
introduced in v3.

Thanks,
Khaled
