[v3,2/5] ls-files: add --sparse option

Commit Message

From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not
directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the
contained files in this case.

However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index
itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to
allow users to request this information.

During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect
the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout
definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and
how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.
