Git LFS: Improve documentation

Problem to solve

It has come to our attention that setting up and using Git LFS isn't very intuitive. Here are the JTBD:

  • When I am responsible for maintaining a repository operational, I want to know how to set up Git LFS, so that I can keep the git database at a reasonable size even when the developers commit large files to it.
  • When I contribute large files to a repository, I want to know how to use Git LFS, so that I don't accidentally push a large file to the git database and slow down git for everyone else.
