Dorian c9722a34f6 Update .gitignore and remove obsolete documentation files
- Added new entries to .gitignore for build artifacts and macOS output directories to streamline the build process.
- Deleted outdated documentation files: AUTH_LOGIN_FIX.md, AUTBOOT_CONFIGURATION.md, BACKEND_FIXES.md, BACKEND_STARTUP_FIX.md, BITCOIN_CORE_HEADLESS_FIX.md, BITCOIN_CORE_UI_COMPLETE.md, BITCOIN_STANDALONE_UI_COMPLETE.md, BITCOIN_UI_COMPLETE.md, BOOT_SEQUENCE_DIAGRAM.txt, and BUILD_COMMANDS_REFERENCE.txt to declutter the repository and remove unnecessary content.
