When modifying the sparse-checkout definition, the sparse-checkout
builtin calls update_sparsity() to modify the SKIP_WORKTREE bits of all
cache entries in the index. Before, we needed the index to be fully
expanded in order to ensure we had the full list of files necessary that
match the new patterns.

Insert a call to reset_sparse_directories() that expands sparse
directories that are within the new pattern list, but only far enough
that every necessary file path now exists as a cache entry. The
remaining logic within update_sparsity() will modify the SKIP_WORKTREE
bits appropriately.

This allows us to disable command_requires_full_index within the
sparse-checkout builtin. Add tests that demonstrate that we are not
expanding to a full index unnecessarily.

We can see the improved performance in the p2000 test script:

Test                           HEAD~1            HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.24: git ... (sparse-v3)   2.14(1.55+0.58)   1.57(1.03+0.53) -26.6%
2000.25: git ... (sparse-v4)   2.20(1.62+0.57)   1.58(0.98+0.59) -28.2%

These reductions of 26-28% are small compared to most examples, but the
time is dominated by writing a new copy of the base repository to the
worktree and then deleting it again. The fact that the previous index
expansion was such a large portion of the time is telling how important
it is to complete this sparse index integration.
