Implement .tomeignore (#53) (#64)

Adds support for avoiding command and completion parsing for directories & files using a gitignore-like .tomeignore specification. Maintains backwards compatibility by continuing to ignore directories entirely if they contain an empty .tomeignore, while leveraging the ignore crate for robust performance and standard exclusion rules for anything defined explicitly.

Fixes #53.

+
+### Using `.tomeignore`
+
+Tome natively supports a `.tomeignore` file in your root scripts directory. This file uses standard `.gitignore` syntax to specify files and directories that should be excluded from command discovery and completions.
+
+**Backwards Compatibility / Legacy Behavior:**
+If an empty `.tomeignore` file is placed inside a directory, tome will completely ignore that directory, serving as a simple exclusion marker.
+
+**Performance Note:** 
+While `.tomeignore` adds powerful filtering rules, it can add slight parsing overhead during command execution and discovery. However, benchmarks show that this overhead is generally negligible (adding only ~0.2 milliseconds per execution on a complex repository of 2,500 scripts). It is strictly recommended to use the non-executable file approach or dot-prefixed (`.name`) directories only when you require absolute maximum performance without global ignores.
