ConTeXt generates .tuc files (utility cache) during each run.

These can be removed using the command line --purgeall.

ConTeXt MKII generates .tui and .tuo with the generation of ToC.

These files store document metadata between compilations and are not part of the source, so they should be ignored.

@gxono can you provide documentation for this change? I don't doubt these files should be ignored, but I have not been able to verify their purpose from a quick search through the ConTeXt documentation.
