The files marked as export-ignore here are not going to be
included in the tarball produced by 'meson dist' when using
meson >= 0.60.

Older versions of meson excluded a small subset of these files
automatically, but since we have more control now we can be
more aggressive and leave out anything that doesn't make sense
in a release tarball.

I don't think we should be excluding this. It is reasonable to want to
use dockerfiles to setup an env for building from the tarball.

Tarballs are going to be consumed primarily by distros and, to a much
smaller extent, end users. I don't think Dockerfiles are going to be
of much use in those scenarios and, in fact, we didn't include them
in release tarballs until the switch to meson caused that to happen
beyond our control. Since they add a non-trivial amount of clutter
I'd rather see them gone.
