sparse-checkout: create leading directories
The 'git init' command creates the ".git/info" directory and fills it
with some default files. However, 'git worktree add' does not create
the info directory for that worktree. This causes a problem when running
"git sparse-checkout init" inside a worktree. While care was taken to
allow the sparse-checkout config to be specific to a worktree, this
initialization was untested.
Safely create the leading directories for the sparse-checkout file. This
is the safest thing to do even without worktrees, as a user could delete
their ".git/info" directory and expect Git to recover safely.
