Subject: [PATCH] chore: Clean up .gitignore and .gitattributes (#6001)

The .gitignore and .gitattributes files contain references to files and directories that the current build no longer produces, so this change removes obsolete entries in these files, and does some general reorganizing of the remaining entries.
