The .gitignore file would reference '/.fetch' files, which caused some confusion (cf. https://elixir-lang.slack.com/archives/C03EPRA3B/p1727706411018609). Some research suggests that these files are no longer generated as of commit 59b6e2e so let's stop mentioning them in the .gitignore, too.

Shouldn't this be kept around a bit more, for projects that are created today on the latest version, but are meant to be supporting multiple versions? |

The projects created with Elixir 1.18 will have a requirement on Elixir ~> 1.18 anyway, so I think we are good. If someone wants to both downgrade the Elixir version AND change it via a dep, then they can add it back, although I think it may be quite rare. :) |

Update Elixir.gitignore to match the upstream template for new Elixir projects. https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/a9021b1c8d932fd5cf2339e4536c5c9ef024003f/lib/mix/lib/mix/tasks/new.ex#L307-L331 Remove `.fetch` which was also removed upstream (elixir-lang/elixir#13871). Preserve additional patterns added in github#2132, github#2611, and github#2872, adding comments to match the style of the rest of the file.

Match Elixir upstream .gitignore template changes: - Update "3rd-party" to "third-party" in documentation comments (elixir-lang/elixir#8308) - Remove deprecated /.fetch entry and comment (elixir-lang/elixir#13871) - Move /tmp/ entry to appear above erl_crash.dump (elixir-lang/elixir#14439)
