rARC284139a24ea4: Restore the ":(attr:filter=lfs)" test for LFS

Summary

See D21190. The ".gitattributes" approach fails when ".gitattributes" is in a subdirectory (or global). These are probably unusual cases, but at least one is known in the wild.

Instead:

Restore the ":(attr:filter=lfs)" test, which seems to be the fastest accurate test available in modern Git.
If the test fails, assume the repository is not LFS. This only impacts users running very old versions of Git.

Test Plan

In LFS and non-LFS repositories, created diffs. Saw correct detection again.
Broke the command on purpose, saw LFS detection conclude "no LFS", but not fail disastrously.
