feat: implement support for dockerignore and containerignore

Currently repo2docker creates a context object that includes the whole content
of the repository it builds an image for. Thus it includes folders like .git
which is usually something that has no interest in the final image, can take
quite a lot of space and most importantly, kills the caching of that layer.

This patch adds support for reading dockerignore and containerignore files that
are used to ensure only the relevant data are used to build the image.

By default it also excludes the .git folder if neither of these files are
provided.
