Add support for comment in .dockerignore

This fix tries to address the issue raised in #20083 where
comment is not supported in `.dockerignore`.

This fix updated the processing of `.dockerignore` so that any
lines starting with `#` are ignored, which is similiar to the
behavior of `.gitignore`.

Related documentation has been updated.

Additional tests have been added to cover the changes.

This fix fixes #20083.
