This adds more Python project related file and directory names to the list recognised by buildpack detection. Such apps will still fail to build successfully (since they are missing a package manager file), but will now be shown a more helpful error message during compile, rather than the generic: "No default language could be detected for this app" The list is based on builds logs analysis of builds that filed to pass detection, plus builds that passed detection but didn't have a valid package manager file. (Possible since the build logs error message includes a file listing of the root directory of the app.) GUS-W-17530142.

Similar to #312, this adds more files to the buildpack's detection list - based on files commonly seen for apps that fail detection due to eg misspelled files. This is the CNB equivalent of: heroku/heroku-buildpack-python#1914 GUS-W-19769734.
