patchFix stale .gitignore change, introduced via js/visual-studio

As reported in https://public-inbox.org/git/20190825120741.GM20404@szeder.dev/, we added a line to ignore .manifest files, but that is a left-over from a long time ago, before we added and used compat/win32/git.manifest.

This fixes that left-over.

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

On Windows, it is possible to embed additional metadata into an executable by linking in a "manifest", i.e. an XML document that describes capabilities and requirements (such as minimum or maximum Windows version). These XML documents are expected to be stored in `.manifest` files.

At least _some_ Visual Studio versions auto-generate `.manifest` files when none is specified explicitly, therefore we used to ask Git to ignore them.

However, we do have a beautiful `.manifest` file now: `compat/win32/git.manifest`, so neither does Visual Studio auto-generate a manifest for us, nor do we want Git to ignore the `.manifest` files anymore.
