Extend REPO.bazel ignored directories to all "hidden" roots

[rdesgroppes]

What does this PR do?

Replace the single .cache entry in ignore_directories of REPO.bazel with a .* glob that matches all "hidden" directories at the root of the workspace.

Motivation

Several "hidden" directories live at the repo root, such as:

• .cache [1.]
• .claude
• .cursor
• .dda
• .ddqa
• .git
• .github
• .gitlab [2.]
• .idea
• .mypy_cache
• .ruff_cache
• .run
• .vscode
• etc.

Each one risks confusing bazel's directory watcher and/or gazelle's scope, and the list keeps growing as new tools drop directories there.

The .* glob covers all of them without requiring future additions, including:

1. .cache, which was already listed,
2. .gitlab, thus honoring Remove redundant gazelle exclusions (**/build) and fix setup inconsistencies #48279 (comment)

Additional Notes

Such exclusions are of course used by bazel itself, but also by gazelle (source) and probably other tools of the Bazel ecosystem.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

• ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
• ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
• ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".
