Ignore "./*.json" should ignore json files from current working directory

Hello,

Thanks for great software 😃 I noticed a problem with ignore files from current working directory. Nodeman restarts my application unexpectedly despite ignore “./*.json”.

• nodemon -v: 2.0.5
• node -v: v12.18.4
• Operating system/terminal environment: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS on Kernel 5.4.0-51-generic
• Using Docker? What image: andyrbell/mountebank:2.3.2 with added RUN npm install -g nodemon to local Dockerfile
• Command you ran: nodemon --verbose config.json.ejs

nodeman.json

{
  "_comment": "See https://github.com/remy/nodemon",
  "ext": "js,json,ejs",
  "ignore": [
    "var/",
    "./*.json"
  ],
  "execMap": {
    "ejs": "mb start --logfile=var/mb.log --pidfile=var/mb.pid --allowInjection --debug --configfile"
  }
}

Expected behaviour

touch anyfile.json — nodeman should ignore this change touch any-not-ignored-dir/anyfile.json — nodeman restarts mountebank as expected

Actual behaviour

touch anyfile.json — nodeman restarts mountebank unexpectedly

This fix has been merged into master and is being built and deployed now. Look out for the next version shortly.

Exactly. This is because mb save by default creates mb.json at current working directory, so without ignore ./*.json mountebank will be restarted by nodemon unexpectedly (e.g. all in memory data, including state will be lost).
