import --no-content: Check annex.largefiles

Browse source 
Import small files into git, the same as is done when importing with content.

If the largefiles expression needs the file content available
(due to mimetype or mimeencoding being used), the import will fail.

Which is better? The repo may have annex.largefiles set in gitattributes
for good workflow reasons, so it would be very annoying to have importing
error out. And if importing ignores the configuration, the user is likely

Hmm, if largefiles does not match, it would have to download the file
content to add it to git, even though --no-content is used. A little weird,
but it's a small file, presumably.
