Moving SynopsysVCS.gitignore into Global/.
Whether to use VCS or any other simulator is a choice of the individual designer rather than of the project as a whole.

Removing the last two lines since they are editor-specific (Namely, VI and Emacs).
As Carl has pointed out, they are covered by other templates under Global/.

Merge Pull Request #1338 for Eclipse
Fixes #1217.
Once again ignore .classpath and .project in the Eclipse template. This has
been requested in multiple PRs such as #1338 and #1221 and is essentially a
reversion of #805. I copy the explanation for this change from the discussion
in #1217 by @segfly:
*In short*:
I can't point to any counter-documentation off the top of my head. I just know
from experience these files pollute a project's repo without adding value
- that is, unless everyone contributing is using Eclipse and no-one is using
dependency management. And even then, the guidance provided by the eclipse docs
is bad advice.
*In Long*:
The .classpath file is used by Eclipse to maintain the project's classpath
during automatic compile (every save of a file). In the olden days, one would
manually configure the project within the Eclipse UI and include all the
dependent jars necessary to compile your project. Eclipse then wrote that
configuration out to the .classpath file.
In theory, this file could be shared with others so they did not have to
manually configure their eclipse classpath. In practice, I never saw it work
out quite so well due to eventual bloating of the classpath with needless jars
or jars that only existed on one person's machine. Mind you, many people back
then also used to check their dependent jars into version control along with
their source.
Dependency management tools like Gradle and Maven have done away with all that
of course. But they also integrate nicely with Eclipse and manage the project
classpath dynamically. The .classpath file is basically rebuilt based on
changes to the build.gradle file or pom.xml file. Effectively, this renders the
whole point of checking in the .classpath moot as it is easily rebuilt by the
Maven or Gradle plugin.
The .project file is another animal completely. It basically describes what
plugins should be applied to the project as configured in the Eclipse UI. Again
the theory is it could be shared and creates a happy world. But due to
different eclipse versions people may have, different plugins installed, etc.
sharing the .project file actually causes more issues. And I've seen many
projects unable to open due to a bad .project file - requiring one to delete it
anyway (which then of course, when someone recreates it, they inevitably check
it in over the old one and end up breaking someone else's environment).
The bottom line is, regardless of what the eclipse documentation says, these
are very much internal configuration files for eclipse and best left out of
a repo.

Added a .gitignore template for Lua based projects.
Added common ignore globs for Lua, an extensible, high-performace, lightweight multi-paradigm language designed for embedded scripting.
http://www.lua.org/about.html (More info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language) )
The de-facto package manager for Lua is LuaRocks.
http://luarocks.org/
- LuaRocks creates a number of files as part of the build process. These are ignored (*.src.rock, *.tar.gz, *.zip)
- Lua modules are conventionally written in C as shared libraries. Common build artifacts for C projects copied from C.gitignore

Fix solution/project files for nested directories.
By having the leading `/` infront of the `*` makes these types of files relative to the directory the gitignore is in. If you create a Unity project inside of a git directory Unity forces you to create a new directory, thus not picking up these files.
Castalia is a free plugin for Delphi since XE7. It uses *.stat files to
save statistics of the IDE usage for each project (compile time, debug
time etc.)
It is safe to delete it, and it is useless to move *.stat files between
developers (each developer has its own IDE statistics).
