Fix MyST static file detection by generating notebooks to project root

Changes notebook generation to create files in project root directories:
- notebooks/ (instead of _build/html/notebooks/)
- learn_probability_notebooks.zip (instead of _build/html/)

This allows MyST to recognize them as static files during build and properly
resolve the downloads: frontmatter configuration. MyST will automatically copy
these files to _build/html/ during the build process.

Also adds generated files to .gitignore to prevent them from being committed.

Fixes the "Resource should be a URL or path to static file" errors.
