Inconsistent rules for .gitignore and files.exclude

[GMbrianlaw]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.68.0
• OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update to the latest version of VSCode
2. Enable explorer.excludeGitIgnore in settings.json
3. Try to ignore files using .gitignore
   For example, bin in .gitignore ignores the all bin directories, but in files.exclude, it only ignores the top-level bin directory.
4. The hidden files / folders on the explorer are different than the ones ignored by Git

I have similar issue but happened with explorer.excludeGitIgnore

Hi Senbonzakura1234, it's actually the same issue. explorer.excludeGitIgnore parses files the same way as files.exclude, which is different from the way .gitignore parses files.
