Subject: [PATCH] Add gnommo load command to copy projects from removable media

Adds the inverse of the archive command: `gnommo load -p <project>`
inspects the configured external drive and rsyncs the project folder
onto the local drive. Supports --dry-run. Also expands .gitignore to
cover additional media file types and project directories.
