I always have a bunch of random scratch files as I'm experimenting with things. Nice to have a default place in the repo where they won't get accidentally added to a commit. So adding a top level `/scratch` that we can put anything we'd like in that will always be ignored but also won't get wiped by any build tooling (e.g., like /build or /out).
