Kyle McCormick 0b48f2795a build: Restore .dockerignore to improve image build and caching (#36877) ...

edx-platform's Dockerfile was removed in Jan 2025 because the
community was not maintaining or using it. The PR that removed it [1]
also removed the .dockerfile as an effort to clean up unnecessary
Docker-related files from the repo.

However, the .dockerignore file serves an important purpose for
*any* Docker image based on edx-platform: it identifies which files
and paths aren't relevant for the functioning of the image. For
example, Tutor greatly benefited from this file, because by ignoring
unnecessary files, the build context was shrunk and image cache
layers were less likely to be unnecesarily invalidated.

We restore the .dockerfile as it was previously in Sumac [2], with
the addition of /venv, /.venv, and __pycache__, and with the
removal of /Dockerfile (as it no longer exists).
