Pull request overview
This PR updates the AL gitignore template to exclude the newer .bclicense license file format for Dynamics 365 Business Central projects. Microsoft deprecated the older .flf format and transitioned to .bclicense files, which should also be excluded from version control.
Changes:
- Added
*.bclicensepattern to the gitignore file - Updated comment from "License-file" to "License-files" to reflect that multiple license formats are now ignored

Reasons for making this change
Microsoft deprecated the License files in the .flf format: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/upgrade/deprecated-features-platform#flfformat. It will be unsupoorted in Business Central 2023 release wave 1. The format remains supported in older versions.
Transition to using the newer .bclicense format instead.
--> we should ignore the
.bclicensefiles aswell so that they don't get committed by accident.Links to documentation supporting these rule changes
So we recommend that you use the .bclicense file if you've gotten one.
