lfs: allow the pointer file to be viewed with `hg cat -T '{rawdata}'` The only other interface to this data is `hg debugdata`, which requires knowledge of the filelog revision that corresponds to the changeset. Since the data is uninterpreted, this is an important debugging capability, and needs to be simpler to use than that. For non-LFS files, this displays the regular data. Alternately, we could forego the messy function extraction in the last patch if this template keyword can just be added unconditionally.

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

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).
