Pants

First question: how can I tell pants to ignore BUILD files?

These are existing bazel files which cause errors in pants

Check out <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/existing-repositories#migrating-from-other-build-tools-set-custom-build-file-names>

To combat this in our repo (and I've seen others here do similar), I named all our pants build files `BUILD.pants` so that I could use the global ignore options in `pants.toml` to ignore general `BUILD` files
