For git that's not between version 1.8.1.1 and 1.8.1.6, the previous
version did not actually exclude those things from the tarballs on
some git versions, due to changes in the syntax for that file that
were made in 1.8.1.1 and reverted in 1.8.1.6.
Kevin's also adding a check that we're not including any of the files
intended to be excluded here.

This moves the list of removed files from .gitattributes to
tools/build-local-server-tarball because static/ and tools/ are
necessary for update-prod-static, and it seemed best to keep the
entire list in one place.

Arguably this shouldn't live in git at all, but given that it does, we
can at least move it to saner location.

We need to maintain this by labeling the files that we don't want to
ship with our local server tarballs in the .gitattributes file.
