Andrew Ayer b7c608da25 Add .gitattributes file to .git-crypt dir to prevent encryption ...

Previously, if you had a .gitattributes file in the root of your
repository that matched `*`, the files under .git-crypt would also be
encrypted, rendering the repository un-decryptable, unless you explicitly
excluded the .git-crypt directory, which was easy to overlook.

Now, `git-crypt add-gpg-user` automatically adds a .gitattributes file
to the .git-crypt directory to prevent its encryption.

IMPORTANT: If you are currently using GPG mode to encrypt an entire
repository, it is strongly advised that you upgrade git-crypt and then
do the following to ensure that the files inside .git-crypt are stored
properly:

 1. Remove existing key files: `rm .git-crypt/keys/*/0/*`
 2. Re-add GPG user(s): `git-crypt add-gpg-user GPG_USER_ID ...`
