Title: ignore web deploy settings by default

Allowing the `*.pubxml` files currently allows unencrypted database connection passwords to be stored in plain text. By default I don't think we should encourage people store unencrypted passwords in repositories.

This relates to https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/674, https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/517, https://github.com/github/gitignore/pull/775, & https://github.com/github/gitignore/issues/837.

/cc @sayedihashimi, @niik, @steveoh, @Haacked, @ArturDorochowicz. I don't expect you all to agree with me but I am CCing you for the sake of transparency. Again I don't think passwords should be stored in repos by default.
