Some consumers of the VMR source build consume the `git archive` generated source tarball. Without this change, the source tarball doesn't include the content/../.gitattributes file, which makes `dotnet new gitattributes` non-functional. Fixes: dotnet#52307

Pull request overview
This PR is a manual backport of #52741 to the 10.0.1xx branch, fixing an issue where dotnet new gitattributes fails to create a file when using the VMR source tarball generated via git archive. The root cause is that the template .gitattributes file contains export-ignore rules that cause it to exclude itself from archives.
Changes:
- Added a
-export-ignoreattribute rule to prevent the gitattributes template file from being excluded in git archives
