lfs: add a switch to `hg verify` to ignore the content of blobs

Trying to validate the fulltext of an external revision causes missing blobs to
be downloaded and cached.  Since the downloads aren't batch prefetched[1] and
aren't compressed, this can be expensive both in terms of time and space.

I made this a tri-state instead of a simple bool because there's an existing
(undocumented) config to handle this, and it would be weird if `hg verify` were
to suddenly start ignoring that config but an `hg recover` initiated verify
honors it.  Since this uses the same config setting, it too will skip
rename verification (which requires fulltext, but not for LFS).

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).
