Converts large Mercurial repositories to Git/LFS significantly faster by integrating the LFS conversion into the history export process. Currently, converting large repositories requires two sequential, long-running steps: 1. Full history conversion (`hg` to `git`). 2. Full history rewrite/import (`git lfs import`). For huge monorepos (100GiB+, 1M+ files), this sequence can take hours or days. This commit introduces a new plugin that allows the repository to be converted *incrementally* (JIT: Just-In-Time). The plugin identifies large files during the initial `hg` to `git` conversion and immediately writes LFS pointers, eliminating the need for the second, time-consuming history rewrite step.
