[PATCH v2] gitignore: ignore /build, /oe-logs, /oe-workdir

Documentation such as Documentation/boards/kvx.rst and tooling such as
conftest.py suggests /build is a good choice for build output directory.
The build system does set up a .gitignore in the build directory but
this has no effect if /build is a symlink to outside the tree.

Similarly, YOCTOs "devtool" sets up the symlinks /oe-logs and
/oe-workdir to point to the respective paths in yoctos build tree.

Include those in .gitignore.
