F-catalog-B: no ignore pattern hides a module's source; nfs-server's and restic's patterns anchored

A bare pattern meant for a binary (mesh-build-node) matched the command directory of the same name, so git
ignored every new file there and publish.go was never committed (catalogue review F1). The kind: every
bare pattern of a module's .gitignore is anchored to the binary (nfs-server's hid all of cmd/nfs-server),
and checks/gitignored refuses an ignore pattern, the module's or the catalogue's, that hides a directory
under a module's cmd/ or internal/, a Go file added there, or a source file there, in a git checkout and a
plain folder alike.

// Package gitignored refuses an ignore pattern that hides a module's source (catalogue review F1, and its kind): the
// bare pattern `mesh-build-node` in a module's .gitignore, meant for the binary `go build` leaves, also matched the
// directory cmd/mesh-build-node, so git ignored every new file there and publish.go was never committed. A path under
// a module's cmd/ or internal/ is source: no .gitignore, the module's or the catalogue's, may ignore one, tracked or
// new. A binary is ignored by an anchored pattern (`/mesh-build-node`, `/cmd/mesh-build-node/mesh-build-node`).
