From: Pratyush Mallick <pratmal@google.com>

The current .gitignore hardcodes each generated test binary by name,
requiring updates every time a new test is added.

Switch to the patten-matching approach similar to KVM:selftests.
Ignore everything by default and then allow source extensions (.c, .h, .sh)
and tracked non-source files.

To avoid un-ignoring the generated headers, rename local_config.h to
local_config.h_gen.

Changelog since v1 (RFC):
- Renamed local_config.h to local_config.h_gen to avoid conflict with !*.h.
- Updated Makefile, check_config.sh, and affected .c files for the rename.
- Removed *.mod.c as it was unnecessary.
