This new binary was introduced in commit 3921a0b ("perf: add test for
writing the index", 2017-08-21), but a .gitignore entry was not added
for it. Add that entry.

as well.

I wonder if we can automate this a little.  Some thoughts:

 A. We could include a test that all the binaries named in
    TEST_PROGRAMS_NEED_X are also named in t/helper/.gitignore.  That
    way tests would fail if this ever falls out of date again.

 B. Even better would be if we could have /t/helper/test-* in
    .gitignore.  E.g. if we rename test-*.c to *.c (e.g.
    t/helper/ctype.c instead of t/helper/test-ctype.c), then the test
    helper source file names would be easier to type and maintaining
    this .gitignore would become a problem of the past.

What do you think?
Jonathan
