XD Trol 630876f9e4 init: add an option --enable-git-lfs-filter
It was reported that git-lfs did not work with git-repo. Specifically,
`git read-tree -u` run by `repo sync` would fail git-lfs's smudge
filter. See https://github.com/github/git-lfs/issues/1422.

In fact, by the time `git read-tree -u` is run, the repository is not
bare. It is just that, the working directory is not the same as the
.git directory. git-lfs's filter should work. No one seems to have
delved into that issue.

Today, with newer versions of git-repo and git-lfs, that issue will
not reproduce. Tested with
- git 2.33, git-lfs 2.13 on macOS
- git 2.17, git-lfs 2.3 on ubuntu

So, it seems fine to add an option --enable-git-lfs-filter, default to
false, and stat that it may not work with older versions of git and
git-lfs in the help doc.
