lfs: default the User-Agent header for blob transfers to 'git-lfs' The custom User-Agent for blob transfers was added in e7bb5fc4570c. Now I've hit another incompatibility with a server wanting the string to start with 'git' or 'git-lfs' [1]. I don't feel strongly about this either way, but a Wireshark trace of git shows that when the Batch API is hit, the User-Agent is 'git-lfs/2.3.4'. So this would probably ensure maximum interoperability. This still leaves the experimental knob in, just in case.
