Don't commit excluded files

[marcoieni]

Motivations

We should honor excluded and included Cargo manifest files. Docs here.

You can list the files to include in the package with cargo package --list

Solution

• [x] When running the diff algorithm, we should only consider the files in cargo package --list.
• [ ] When checking if the repository is clean, ignore files not in cargo package --list.
• [ ] git add only files in cargo package --list
• [ ] When release-plz detects that the repository is not clean, suggest adding these files to the ignored files list in Cargo.toml. Link to the docs.

This feature is handy if you don't want release-plz to open a PR for changes in every file. E.g. if you don't want release-plz to raise a PR for a change in the README.md file, you could add README.md file to the excluded files. Same for CHANGELOG.md.

Hi! I will gladly take on this issue!

First item in the list completed by #1089 🎉 This was the most important bit, but it would be nice to implement the other ones, too 👍

Hey, I was wrong in my mention, our issue turned out to be the file in tree which was also matched by .gitignore rules.
