Subject: [PATCH] selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore

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.
