While the building system doesn't create any Python JIT bytecode,
if one manually runs kernel-doc.py or get_abi.py, Python will,
by default, create a bytecode and store it under scripts/lib/*.

This is normal, and not controlled by the Kernel itself. So,
add *.pyc as an extension to be ignored.

I think the list is intended to be sorted.

Should `*.pyo` be added as well?

Thanks!

I think this one is a no, given even oldoldstable Debian ships new
enough Python.
