[Build] Remove large files from repository

[Misha Chornyi]

Describe the issue

Observing that repository checkout can consume a lot of time.
Due to model files examples stored in the repository.
Those files can be outdated to the project branch, but do increase checkout time for the repository.

Urgency

I would say it's urgent as it impact many users and also will block/impact the
#12081

Target platform

any

Build script

reproduce steps

$ git clone https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime.git
$ cd onxxruntime
$ git rev-list --objects --all |   git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' |   sed -n 's/^blob //p' |   sort --numeric-sort --key=2 |   cut -c 1-12,41- |   $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

[George Wu]

can you do a shallow clone (i.e. --depth 1) to reduce the time?
but agreed, we should do more on our side to avoid checking in large objects into the repo.
