Add _config.yml to exclude scripts/ and other internal directories from Jekyll processing. The file scripts/docs/markdown-generator.md introduced in elastic#2569 contains Jinja2 {% macro %} tags which are unknown to Liquid, crashing the GitHub Pages build.

Summary
The GitHub Pages build on
mainhas been failing since #2569 landed, which addedscripts/docs/markdown-generator.md. That file contains Jinja2 template syntax (e.g.{% macro %}) inside fenced code blocks. Jekyll's Liquid engine processes{% %}delimiters even inside code blocks, andmacrois not a valid Liquid tag, causing the build to crash with:Liquid syntax error (line 189): Unknown tag 'macro'Fix
Add a
_config.ymlat the repo root that excludesscripts/(and other internal directories likevenv/,generated/,experimental/) from Jekyll processing. These directories contain internal developer tooling that was never intended to be published as part of the GitHub Pages site.Test plan
