lfs: don't require the .hglfs file to be tracked to control the policy

The .hgignore file doesn't need to be tracked, nor does the git equivalent of
this file.  I'm still a little concerned about the effects of forgetting to
commit this file.  But the fact that conversions maintain the hashes if only the
normal vs external storage changes, should make this less risky.

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.
