test-lfs: add tests around corrupted lfs objects These are mostly tests against file:// based remote stores, because that's what we have the most control over. The test uploading a corrupt blob to lfs-test-server demonstrates an overly broad exception handler in the retry loop. A corrupt blob is actually transferred in a download, but eventually caught when it is accessed (only after it leaves the corrupt file in a couple places locally). I don't think we want to trust random 3rd party implementations, and this would be a problem if there were a `debuglfsdownload` command that simply cached the files. And given the cryptic errors, we should probably validate the file hash locally before uploading, and also after downloading.

Mercurial's default format for showing changes between two versions of
a file is compatible with the unified format of GNU diff, which can be
used by GNU patch and many other standard tools.
While this standard format is often enough, it does not encode the
following information:
- executable status and other permission bits
- copy or rename information
- changes in binary files
- creation or deletion of empty files
Mercurial also supports the extended diff format from the git VCS
which addresses these limitations. The git diff format is not produced
by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this
format.
This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository
(e.g. with :hg:`export`), you should be careful about things like file
copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when
applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra
information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and
pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary
format for communicating changes.
To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git
option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff]
section of your configuration file. You do not need to set this option
when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.
