Added .gitignore

Ignore processing and printing C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode.
These are in the range: 0x80 - 0x9f.

By default in st the mode is set to UTF-8.

This matches more the behaviour of xterm with the options -u8 or +u8 also.
Also see the xterm resource "allowC1Printable".

Let me know if this breaks something, in most cases I don't think so.

As usual a very good reference is:
