lfs: move the tracked file function creation to a method

Once a commitable file format for tracked config is agreed upon, I can't see any
reason to have a config based way to control this.  (Other than convert.  That
will be necessary to override the file when converting to normal files.  Also,
converting to lfs needs this if not splicing the file in at the beginning.  So
maybe the existing config option should be `convert` specific.)  Looking to
hgeol for precedent, it looks like policy that affects how items are stored are
handled only by the tracked file, while policy that affects the checkout can be
handled by either a user config or the tracked file (but the latter takes
precedence).

We probably need a transition period, so this transition policy can be
controlled by the function.  Additionally, it provides a place for convert to
wrap to override the file based config.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
