Switch to GitLab for lfs

[bilke]

GitHub has some serious limitations on git lfs usage (storage and bandwidth). After merging #1982 we hit the quota in a few hours which resulted in GitHub disabling lfs in our account.

As a quickfix I moved our lfs files to our own GitLab instance where we have lots of more storage and bandwidth available. The new .lfsconfig-file should be enough to switch to the other lfs location.

• Cloning and pulling simply works
• For pushing new lfs files you need to have an account on our GitLab instance and need to have write rights to the ogs repo. You also need a personal access token. On pushing please provide your GitLab username (should be the same as your GitHub user name) and your created personal access token.

Some more tips:

• Creating a GitLab account can be done by clicking on the GitHub logo (octocat) on the Gitlab sign-in page
• Please let me know about your created account so I can give you write rights
• On creating the GitLab personal access token, enable the following scopes: api, read_user
• You may want to use a git credential helper
