Robert reported that core.excludesFile was not mentioned in the git-clean docs[1]. This cleans that up by mentioning that in the docs.

Changes since v1:
* Use Martin's suggestions of referencing the gitignore(5) instead of
  writing an exhaustive list. Also, sprinkle in some backticks ;)
Changes since v2:
* Use Junio's suggestion for rephrasing the text in git-clean.txt
* Move core.excludesFile specific documentation out of git-add.txt and into
  gitignore.txt
