inspect-ai-vscode adds unnecessary entries to .gitignore.

Hi!

When I have the extension running in a project with a .gitignore file and create a Python file, I believe the inspect-ai-vscode extension adds entries to the .gitignore file, like logs/. I think it comes from here.

inspect_ai/tools/vscode/src/providers/workspace/workspace-init.ts

Line 19 in d3f6cb4

ensureGitignore(path, ignorePaths());

I appreciate the helpfulness of the extension, but I would prefer it if it didn't automatically add entries to my .gitignore file. It can be disruptive, especially when I don't need these entries.

An opt-out setting, better detection of an inspect-ai workspace or removing the feature would be candidates for solving my issue.

@dragonstyle I'd be okay with our removing this entirely given that the standard GitHub .gitignore file already ignores __pycache__/ and .env: https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Python.gitignore. I think there could be a case (but not that strong) for logs/ but only if this code triggered in an actual Inspect project. The fact that it triggers in any project with a .py file to makes it pretty problematic.

So my vote is remove this behavior.....
