RFR(xxs): 8227170: (.hg)Ignore the JTwork and JTreport directories generated at the root of the repo

[Jaikiran Pai]

Hello Dean,

Thank you for testing this. I have now updated the webrev to use the
JTreport/* syntax and have also verified that it works for me too. It
correctly ignores both root level JTreport and JTwork directories and
any such sub-directories. I am on a macOS with:

hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 5.0.1)
(see https://mercurial-scm.org for more information)

The updated webrev is at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jpai/webrev/8227170/2/webrev/
