Remove an erroniously-committed file

This appears to be part of an alternative version control or backup system.
The file is 630KB, and should never have been committed.
Update gitignore to no longer ignore all hidden files

This allows important changes to ".gitignore", ".gitattributes", etc.
files to be detected.

Any hidden files generated by an IDE should be ignored more specifically.
Add a gitattributes file

This should help to ensure that CRLF line endings are always automatically
removed before a commit.
Convert CRLF (Windows-style) line endings to LF (Unix-style)
Replace tab indentation with spaces

Tabs should not be used anywhere. All Python, CSS, HTML, and other code
files should indent with 4 spaces per level. Javascript files are
currently inconsistant, with either 2 or 4 spaces per level.
Ensure text files have a trailing newline

This is required by POSIX.
Strip trailing whitespace from text files

A pre-commit hook should be added in the future to enforce trailing
whitespace and other basic style checks.
