Cloning public LFS repos leads to endless passwort prompts, please add support for "Authenticated" property to solve

Problem:

Cloning public LFS repos via HTTPS from gitlab will lead to endless passwort prompts where the user just needs to press enter again and again. This can be very confusing for new users who don't realize that they do indeed not need to enter anything, because the prompt appears even for public repos without access restrictions right now.

Solution:

The git-lfs client in the newest version appears to have added support for an "Authenticated" property: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1452 It seems however that the gitlab LFS implementation doesn't actually implement this property as of now. I am therefore suggesting to do this, to make public clones less confusing and spammy and "just work" as expected.
