add: fail when adding an untracked sparse file
The add_files() method in builtin/add.c takes a set of untracked files
that are being added by the input pathspec and inserts them into the
index. If these files are outside of the sparse-checkout cone, then they
gain the SKIP_WORKTREE bit at some point. However, this was not checked
before inserting into the index, so these files are added even though we
want to avoid modifying the index outside of the sparse-checkout cone.
Add a check within add_files() for these files and write the advice
about files outside of the sparse-checkout cone.
This behavior change modifies some existing tests within t1092. These
tests intended to document how a user could interact with the existing
behavior in place. Many of these tests need to be marked as expecting
failure. A future change will allow these tests to pass by adding a flag
to 'git add' that allows users to modify index entries outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
The 'submodule handling' test is intended to document what happens to
directories that contain a submodule when the sparse index is enabled.
It is not trying to say that users should be able to add submodules
outside of the sparse-checkout cone, so that test can be modified to
avoid that operation.
