Disable replication lag tracking by configuration Introduce the new configuration settings ref-database.replicationLagEnabled for disabling the metric to trace the auto-replication lag between sites. The rationale for disabling this metric lies in the use of mono-repos with very frequent updates which would cause the ref refs/multi-site/version/* to be continuously updated causing packed-refs locks and consuming precious resources on the global-refdb. When using pull-replication and apply-object, the value of using the refs/multi-site/version/* for tracking is not very useful anyway because it gets replicated outside the batch.
