Option to not generate/commit Manifest.toml in test/

[sloede]

Is there a possibility to not generate and/or commit the Manifest.toml for the test/ folder? For proper packages, this is usually neither wanted nor needed. Right now, I always have to git rm test/Manifest.toml after generating a package.

Does adding it with the gitignore plugin not work?

How would I do that? From the docs I only gather how I can use the gitignore function when defining new plugins, but now how to properly use it for this use case.

That would help make #415 and friends more maintainable

@sloede I just did it like this:

1. Run using PkgTemplates; generate()
2. Choose to customize the git plugin
3. In the git plugin menu, choose to customize ignore
4. Set it to ["**/Manifest.toml"], presumably each entry in the array translates to one gitignore line

While it is possible by tinkering with the plugin, I think we should make it the default. Will open a PR
