Taylor Blau be411309fd commands/command_migrate.go: loosen meaning of '--everything'
In [1] and [2], callers of the 'git lfs migrate' command were surprised
when `--everything` did not migrate over everything, as its name
implies.

In the documentation, we specified that `--everything` applies only to
local references, as the default behavior of 'git lfs migrate' is to
never require a force-push unless asked to do so explicitly.

--everything sounds dangerous enough that it would imply that a user
wants _everything_ in their repository migrated. So, let's loosen the
requirement and make it mean that.

Alternatively, we could change the meaning of `--everything` in this
fashion and replace it with `--everything-local`. We could also
introduce `--force`, leave the meaning of `--evrything` unchanged, and
only exhibit this behavior with `--everything --force`. Both of these
options add too much surface area and complexity for use cases that seem
less-common, and/or could be accomplished with clever `git for-each-ref`
and `xargs`-ing.
