Revert "improve .gitignore"

This reverts commit a8345bb1b9

Reason for revert: VictoriaMetrics binaries are consistently created inside `bin` directory at the root of the repository
when running `make <vm-app>` according to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-build-from-sources

If some dev environments create binaries inside random directories, then it is better to provide docs
at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/#how-to-build-from-sources on how to setup these IDEs, so they
consistently create binaries at bin/* directory at the root of the repository instead of trying to add
random ignore rules inside .gitignore.

As for the data directories created by VictoriaMetrics components, they may be created at random places too,
so there is little sense in trying to add ignore rules for all these directories inside .gitignore.
It is better to document that the built binaries must be consistently started from the repository root,
so data directories are created at the repository root. The .gitignore already contains rule
for blocking common data directories, which can be created by VictoriaMetrics components at the repository root.
