Add test for Git LFS repository cloning

Verifies that Poetry can successfully clone Git repositories that use
Git Large File Storage (LFS) and that LFS files are properly retrieved
with their actual content rather than just pointer files.

This test uses dulwich's built-in LFS support to create a repository
with LFS files and verifies that cloning works correctly without
requiring manual configuration.

Fixes #8723
