Title: Ignore "dirty" nupic.core submodule

`ignore = dirty` option avoids that git include the word -dirty in the end of the submodule SHA when files in a submodule folder are changed.. If these changes aren't reverted, it's impossible synchronize nupic repo with a "dirty" submodule..

As we should pull PRs directly from `nupic.core` repo cloned to our machine, not from its `/nta` subfolder in `nupic`, I think is simpler ignore the changes were in `/nta` and so avoid typing commands to ignore manually these changes..

I saw several developers that recommend this option:
