Assigner: Gitea Limited

Description

With `REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = true`, the Git LFS endpoints still answered unauthenticated requests for repositories that are not private. An anonymous client who knows the path of such a repository and the SHA-256 of an LFS object could download the object, and could use the batch endpoint to test whether an object exists. The Git LFS endpoints now require authentication when sign-in is required to view the instance.
