Hi @bentsherman and @pditommaso, I recently started using Nextflow and, while exploring the repository structure, noticed that .gitignore could use a bit of tidying.

This PR is split into 3 commits for easier review, though feel free to squash and merge:

  1. Fix issues: remove duplicates and add an exception for changelog.txt
  2. Standardise format: make directory patterns consistent by using trailing slashes
  3. Improve organisation: group patterns into clearer sections

There should be no functional changes, just a clearer and more consistent structure.

Hope this helps!

- Use trailing slashes for all directory patterns (e.g., .cache/ instead of .cache/*)
- More idiomatic and clearer intent that these are directories
- No functional change, just consistency improvement
