Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve 0161da9d6d [skip ci] .gitignore: exclude __pycache__ directories (#5838) ...

Python may leave behind temporary `.pyc.*` files inside `__pycache__`
on some filesystems (e.g. WSL2 mounts). Adding `__pycache__/` ensures
these directories and any leftover files are consistently ignored.

Background: Python writes bytecode to a temp file with an extra suffix
before renaming it to `.pyc`. If the process is interrupted or the
filesystem rename isn’t fully atomic, those temp files may remain.
