Summary:
As a developpers is working on large blobs and iterating on them, the local LFS
store will be growing significantly over time, and that growth is unfortunately
unbounded and will never be cleaned up. Thankfully, one the guarantee that the
server is making is that an uploaded LFS blob will never be removed[0]. By using
this property, we can simply move blobs from the local store to the shared
store after uploading the blob is complete.

Any native code (C/C++/Rust) that Mercurial (either core or extensions)
depends on should go here. Python code, or native code that depends on
Python code (e.g. #include <Python.h> or use cpython) is disallowed.
As we start to convert more of Mercurial into Rust, and write new paths
entrirely in native code, we'll want to limit our dependency on Python, which is
why this barrier exists.
See also hgext/extlib/README.md, mercurial/cext/README.mb.
How do I choose between lib and extlib (and cext)?
If your code is native and doesn't depend on Python (awesome!), it goes here.
Otherwise, put it in hgext/extlib (if it's only used by extensions) or
mercurial/cext (if it's used by extensions or core).
