Add a .gitignore file to each __pycache__ folder

[gvanrossum]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

When creating a __pycache__ folder, add a .gitignore file with the content

# Created by CPython
*

I've seen this pattern appear in a few places (coverage.py's htmlcov folder, .venv, .pytest_cache) and it saves projects from having to add such things to their main .gitignore.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
