Description
If using a verbatim publication and the upstream has by-hash files, publish them along with the other repo metadata files.
I think that this feature should probably ignore the APT_BY_HASH setting and rather just mirror whatever upstream is doing since upstream will have Acquire-by-Hash setting in its Release file and pulp_deb just mirrors this setting from upstream.
This feature is probably related to this other feature I've filed to sync using by-hash files: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/issues/1031.

Research direction
Start by tracing the verbatim publication path and how upstream repository metadata and the Release file are handled. Compare the requested behavior with issue #1031 and consider the stated relationship to APT_BY_HASH. Done means by-hash files present upstream are published with the other repository metadata while matching the upstream setting.
