largefiles: don't rehash largefiles in updatelfiles if standin hash changed

Standins are read before and after an update/merge, and all the standins that
changes are handed to updatelfiles for getting their corresponding largefiles
updated. updatelfiles would then hash the largefile and see if it already
matched the new expected hash. If so, it would skip the update. If different,
the largefile would be updated.

It would happen very rarely that the largefile happened to match the new hash
(and thus not the old one) and the hashing would thus be pointless ... and
hashing is not cheap.

Instead, when it is known that the standin hash changed (from an update), just
update the standin unconditionally. If the largefile was "unsure" before the
update, it was hashed at that point, so we know there is nothing to preserve.
(Also, the hashing in updatelfiles was not used to preserve changes, but only
to be lazy about updating the largefile, so nothing is lost by not doing this
extra hashing.)

There might be rare situations where we now will update largefiles that didn't
have to be updated, but in all relevant cases (?) this will improve
performance.

Updates on a repo with some big largefiles has been seen to go from 9.19 s to
6.8 s - that is 26% less painful.
