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.
