The Watcher and Poller already respected `.gitignore` files when monitoring for changes; however, the HTML Renderer did not. This update ensures that the HTML Renderer also honors `.gitignore`. This prevents ignored files from being processed and included in the generated HTML output. I noticed this when working on a project where the mdbook source directory was the root of the project. mdBook was taking a long time to copy the entire contents of the `target` directory into the book which was gigabytes in size. After this change, the HTML renderer correctly ignored the `target` directory as specified in the `.gitignore` file, significantly speeding up the build process.
