Stop a self-referential node_modules symlink breaking the payload build

Browse source 
`server/node_modules` was tracked as a SYMLINK to its own absolute path:

    120000 blob ... server/node_modules -> /home/owner/Downloads/remote_display/server/node_modules

It came in with the #283 merge. Any attempt to resolve it is an ELOOP, so the
payload build died at the staging step with

    cp: cannot stat 'server/node_modules': Too many levels of symbolic links

and a fresh checkout gets a server/ whose dependencies cannot resolve at all.

.gitignore only had `node_modules/`, and a trailing slash matches DIRECTORIES —
which is exactly how a symlink of that name slipped past it. Both forms are listed
now, so the same mistake cannot be committed again.
