Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to see Pulp3 provide support to act as a backing store for git-lfs.

API is documented here: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/tree/main/docs/api

As an example, this is provided by Artifactory (just sayin ;): https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Git+LFS+Repositories

Example of a nodejs module that will front S3 storage: https://github.com/kzwang/node-git-lfs

Describe the solution you'd like
To be able to point git-lfs to pulp infrastructure for storing large files.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Current solution (BitBucket)
Artifactory
node-git-lfs

Using pulp3 very much fits in with our current methodologies and departmental familiarity.

Done means Pulp3 can be configured as a Git LFS backing store and supports the required API operations; the issue does not identify implementation files or tests.
