Increase visibility into LFS usage and GC

Why

It can be hard to get an overview of LFS disk usage, and once implemented it might be hard to tell when LFS GC/pruning has run).

@kforner suggested the following in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/30639#note_42261773:

What could be enough to begin with, and at least useful for debugging is a view of a table for a given project with:

  • LFS object ID
  • LFS object size
  • nb of references

and a button to delete unreferenced LFS objects.

What

Rake task

Perhaps a rake task which lists total LFS size for a project followed by a breakdown of the largest objects

Project usage page/section

Perhaps a section on a page somewhere which lists total LFS usage along with when the GC/pruning background worker last ran.
