git-clean.txt: clarify ignore pattern files

Browse source 
In the git-clean documentation, -x and -e documented .gitignore,
$GIT_DIR/info/excludes but neglected to mention the file pointed to by
core.excludesFile.

Remove specific list of files and, instead, reference gitignore(5)
documentation so that information is consolidated and the git-clean
documentation is more precise.

Don't use the standard ignore rules (see linkgit:gitignore[5]), but
still use the ignore rules given with `-e` options from the command
line. This allows removing all untracked
files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in
conjunction with 'git reset') to create a pristine
working directory to test a clean build.
