ls-files: excludes should not impact tracked files
In all parts of git, .gitignore and other exclude files impact only how we treat untracked files; they should have no effect on files listed in the index. This behavior was originally implemented very early on in 9ff768e, but only for --exclude-from. Later, commit 63d285c accidentally caused us to trigger the behavior for --exclude-per-directory. This patch totally ignores excludes for files found in the index. This means we are reversing the original intent of 9ff768e, while at the same time fixing the accidental behavior of 63d285c. This is a good thing, though, as the way that 9ff768e behaved does not really make sense with the way exclusions are used in modern git.
