Geo - Skip download of blobs with foreign layers

What does this MR do?

Some images contain layers that might have the media type application/vnd.docker.image.rootfs.foreign.diff.tar.gzip which are not present on the registry.

In this case, the client doesn't go to the registry to fetch the layer because it is not there but will follow the URL, specified among other details of the layer.

Geo should not try to fetch it from the registry during sync but skip this layer. It also does not want to follow the URL and download it because it might violate the license.
