Meson utilizes `git archive` as the first step in producing a release tarball. Certain files don't need to be distributed in release tarballs at all -- namely, files used by git itself, or by github when processing a git repository for e.g. CI purposes. They have no use case outside of a git repo -- not even as documentation. Exclude these files from the tarball. This affects both `meson dist` and the github autogenerated tarballs on the Tags page. More work is needed to have `meson dist` reach parity with automake's `make distcheck`, but this is a start.
