git-read-tree.txt: correct sparse-checkout and skip-worktree description
The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:
If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).
Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.
Fix it.
In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.
