ignore: only respect .gitignore in git repos

This commit fixes an interesting bug in the `ignore` crate where it
would basically respect any `.gitignore` file anywhere (including global
gitignores in `~/.config/git/ignore`), regardless of whether we were
searching in a git repository or not. This commit rectifies that
behavior to only respect gitignore rules when in a git repo.

The key change here is to move the logic of whether to traverse parents
into the directory matcher rather than putting the onus on the directory
traverser. In particular, we now need to traverse parent directories in
more cases than we previously did, since we need to determine whether
we're in a git repository or not.

Fixes #934
