Allow repo owner/admin to set raw links as publicly accessible

Problem to solve

Repo owner doesn't want people to be able to look at his repo, but wants people to be able to download the file(s) they link to.

Further details

Currently, setting the files to "Members only", even on a public repo, prevents users from downloading files from the repo using the raw links, unless they're members of such projects, and logged in.

Proposal

Add a switch to the permission settings, labeled "Enable public raw links" or similar. With that switch, anyone with a link to a file in the repo would be able to download said file, without them being logged in, or having access to the rest of the repo.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Access private repo over a raw link with public raw links enabled should download the file that has been linked to.
