gitattributes.txt: Path matching rules are explained in gitignore.txt

The rules how the patterns are matched against path names are the same
for .gitattribute and .gitignore files.

This also replace the notion "glob pattern" by "pattern" because
gitignore.txt talks about "glob" only in some contexts where the pattern
is mentioned.
