Subject: [PATCH] Read exclude patterns from .gitignore in absence of
 user-provided patterns (#344) (#345)

* Read exclude patterns from .gitignore in absence of user-provided
patterns (#344)

Use .gitignore to exclude files if --exclude is missing from both
pyproject.toml and the command line. Vulture now requires the
pathspec library to run.

* Move dependencies to requirements.txt.
