Update chocolate cake files (2020/ferguson[12])

There were some things I wanted to reiterate and stress even more that
are important notes about the cake.

Of course the ferguson2 files are still encrypted with a specific key
for the Enigma machine (one of the keys I provided in recode.md /
recode.html but which is a challenge though probably pointless since
it's also in ferguson1 unencrypted).

Updated 2020/ferguson2/.gitignore: added data files specific to the
encryption of the cake files so I can more easily fix it should I need
to update the files under 2020/ferguson2 (unlikely as that might be).

better by using butter you're very mistaken; it will come out badly!
* Over the years they changed the size of the unsweetened chocolate squares;
they used to be one ounce each now they are 1/4 ounce each square so be sure to
note the amount is by ounce not squares as listed. See the measurements link
if there's any doubt.

* When the recipe was first written they sold powdered sugar in a box; now
it's confectioners sugar in a bag. My mum experimented with the amount and
found that 4 cups seems about right.

but given that she and I both prefer skim milk except for here and in
chocolate milk I would recommend whole milk for this recipe too. In any case
it turns out great!
