Remove large files from repo and history #284

Hi @rozyczko , I looked around a bit more and couldn't help pointing this out :)

This repo contains windows executables and dll:s. If they actually need to be version controlled with the code then git-lfs is a nice tool. But otherwise they could be removed.

The files themselves take up space in the tree but they also clog the history. A fresh clone is 126 M. Filtering just the libs/ folder reduces it to 26 M.

git-filter-repo --path libs --invert-paths

Further analysis of the history shows remnants of other large and/or binary files (images, static web content, etc) which could be filtered similarly to reduce size but keep other git history intact.
