Introduce a new environmental variable, GIT_PS1_OMITIGNORED, which
tells __git_ps1 to display nothing when the current directory is
set (e.g. via .gitignore) to be ignored by git. In the absence of
GIT_PS1_OMITIGNORED this change has no effect.
Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git.
This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top
level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be
distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.
