Subject: [PATCH] Do not spell check Makefiles and JSON files

Spell check does not handle JSON files very well. It finds misspelled
words in hexadecimal hashes (like misspelled "dead" in "123daed456").

Ignore Makefiles too - there is not so much free text to spell check
and the spell check complains about words it was told by Makefile to
ignore.
