Subject: Implement nested .gitignore support with GitignoreStack

- Replaced go-gitignore with custom GitignoreStack that tracks
  multiple .gitignore files hierarchically
- Patterns are processed in root-to-leaf order, last match wins
- Negation patterns in child dirs override parent ignores
- Patterns only apply within their directory scope (no leaking)
- Added 6 new tests for nested .gitignore:
  - Scoped: patterns only affect own directory
  - Dir-scoped: different dirs can ignore different things
  - Negation override: child !pattern un-ignores parent's *.pattern
  - Deep nesting: 3+ levels of .gitignore
  - Parent scope doesn't leak to siblings
- All 35 tests passing
