This change removed .pyc files from the set of things we
ignore:

> -*.pyc

But the meson build still runs python scripts which live in
the source tree, which means python still dumps its bytecode
files in the source tree too, and they appear in 'git status' now:

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        docs/sphinx/__pycache__/
        scripts/qapi/__pycache__/
        scripts/tracetool/__pycache__/
        scripts/tracetool/backend/__pycache__/
        scripts/tracetool/format/__pycache__/

So I think we should put *.pyc back into .gitignore.

thanks
