checkout-index: integrate with sparse index
Add repository settings to allow usage of the sparse index. When using the `--all` option, sparse directories are ignored by default due to the `skip-worktree` flag, so there is no need to expand the index. If `--ignore-skip-worktree-bits` is specified, the index is expanded in order to check out all files. When checking out individual files, existing behavior in a full index is to exit with an error if a directory is specified (as the directory name will not match an index entry). However, it is possible in a sparse index to match a directory name to a sparse directory index entry, but checking out that sparse directory still results in an error on checkout. To reduce some potential confusion for users, `checkout_file(...)` explicitly exits with an informative error if provided with a sparse directory name. The test corresponding to this scenario verifies the error message, which now differs between sparse index and non-sparse index checkouts.
