(Migrated from github.com)

Our use of LFS in this repository was causing overages/overrruns past the free limits of github, and so we started getting billing requests for using Git LFS.

It's been decided that we don't need this feature (all files are either linked from offsite or are small files that fit within github binary file storage).

In the future if we have needs for large files, we will revisit, but we need to remove lfs references for now in order to clear CI and deploy without using the billed version of LFS

The only files that we found were references to jpg, png, pkg, zip in .gitattributes which will automatically upload these types to lfs, deleting these references will allow git to use binary storage instead. File sizes are small.

Also removed current lfs files and remade them as binary files stored in our regular repository.
