remove .gitattributes (#1350)

Contributes to rapidsai/build-planning#31

Removes `.gitattributes` file.

That was added in #88 for use with `versioneer`. Per the `git` docs ([link](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_export_subst)), setting the attribute `export-subst` on a file via a `.gitattributes` tell `git` to replace placeholders in the file with some `git` information.

This is no longer done in `_version.py` files in this project, and this project no longer uses `versioneer`. `rapids-build-backend` handles storing git commit information in the published packages.
