Subject: selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:17:32 +0000
The current .gitignore hardcodes each generated test binary by name, requiring updates every time a new test is added.
Switch to the pattern-matching approach similar to KVM:selftests. Ignore everything by default and then allow source extensions (.c, .h, .sh) and tracked non-source files.
Note that local_config.h was renamed to local_config.h_gen in a previous patch so that un-ignoring *.h files does not cause generated build artifacts to become untracked.
