enhance: Add comprehensive .gitignore for deb-mock project
- Add mock-specific build artifacts (chroot/, mock-*, mockroot/)
- Include package build files (*.deb, *.changes, *.buildinfo)
- Add development tools (.coverage, .pytest_cache, .tox)
- Include system files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db, ._*)
- Add temporary and backup files (*.tmp, *.bak, *.backup)
- Include local configuration overrides (config.local.yaml, .env.local)
- Add test artifacts and documentation builds
- Comprehensive coverage for Python build system project

This ensures build artifacts, chroot environments, and development
tools are properly ignored in version control.

title: Release Notes - Mock 5.2

Released on 2023-09-27.
### Mock 5.2 new features
- Mock newly logs out its command-line arguments to better deduct what was
happening at build time.
### Bugfixes
- The fixes introduced in Mock 5.1 included a compatibility issue with Python in
Enterprise Linux 8 due to a dependency on the `capture_output=True` feature in
the `subprocess` module, which was added in Python 3.7. However, EL 8 is
running on Python 3.6. This compatibility issue has been resolved in Mock by
using `stdout=subprocess.PIPE` instead. This update was made based on a [report
from Bodhi update](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-45ace77fca).
- Previous versions of Mock mistakenly expanded every `~` occurrence
(tilde character) in the specified source path with `--copyout`. So
files `~/foo~bar.txt` were searched on path `/builddir/foo/builddirbar.txt`
instead of just `/builddir/foo~bar.txt`. Fixes [rhbz#2239035][].
- The Mock state monitoring (creating state.log) was fixed so that Mock, unless
some exception is raised, always checks that we finished all the states we
started.
