Make serve and watch respect .gitignore

When editing files with some editors (e.g. vim) temporary files are
constantly being modified causing mdbook serve and watch to constantly
rebuild the project.

To avoid this leverage the ignore crate to load the project's root
.gitignore file and skip changes on files ignored.
