Re-index all repos after `search.largeFiles` changes

Created by: nicksnyder

A customer added the search.largeFiles configuration and asked how long it will take to re-index all repositories.

My assumption is that we don't automatically reindex a repository unless contents have changed, but this isn't a great outcome because it means that this configuration change is not guaranteed to have an effect in any bounded amount of time.

  1. Is there a manual way that customers can force all repositories to be indexed?
  2. Can we make this happen automatically when search.largeFiles changes?
