lfs: add a fileset for detecting lfs files

This currently has the same limitation as {lfs_files}, namely it doesn't report
removed files.

We may want a dedicated 'lfs()' revset for efficiency, but combining this with
the 'contains()' revset should be equivalent for now.  Combining with
'set:added()' or 'set:modified()' inside 'files()' should be equivalent to a
hypothetical lfs_adds() and lfs_modifies().  I wonder if there's a way to tweak
the filesets to evaluate lazily, to close the efficiency gap.

It would also be interesting to come up with a template filter for '{files}'
that looked at the pattern to 'files()', and filtered appropriately.  While
passing a fileset as the pattern to `hg log` does filter '{files}', the set is
evaluated against the working directory, so there's no way to list all non-lfs
files above a certain size in all revisions, for example.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
