doc: gitignore: clarify pattern base for info/exclude and core.excludesFile
The pattern format section describes how patterns are interpreted
relative to the location of a .gitignore file, but does not mention
the behavior for exclude sources outside the working tree.
Clarify that patterns from $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and core.excludesFile
are treated as if they are specified at the root of the working tree,
so a leading '/' anchors matches at the repository root.
