METRON-1396: Fix .gitignore files to not ignore themselves ## Contributor Comments The relevant files are already in git, it's a trivial fix to just add the reinclusion. See https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore, under `Pattern Format`. The files are in git already, so it's pretty benign, but I suspect weirdness could occur, and this is more correct. And also it just bothered me. ## Pull Request Checklist Thank you for submitting a contribution to Apache Metron.
