Add support of relative paths for git.ignoredRepositories

Hi, could you please add support of relative git.ignoredRepositories path? So it could be possible to add ignored repository in the following way:

"git.ignoredRepositories": ["./openwrt"]
or 
"git.ignoredRepositories": ["${workspaceFolder}/openwrt"]

instead of

"git.ignoredRepositories": ["/home/username/some/absolute/path/openwrt"]

@abhinuvpitale are you still working on this? If not, I'd like to try my hand it.
Ps: I'm new to this repository, and this seems like a good place to start.

Hi, @adityakaria, are you still working on this? If not, I'll be glad to take it.

Verification: The chosen syntax is "git.ignoredRepositories": ["./openwrt"] and it means relative from any of the workspace folders.
