sparse-index: implement ensure_full_index()

We will mark an in-memory index_state as having sparse directory entries
with the sparse_index bit. These currently cannot exist, but we will add
a mechanism for collapsing a full index to a sparse one in a later
change. That will happen at write time, so we must first allow parsing
the format before writing it.

Commands or methods that require a full index in order to operate can
call ensure_full_index() to expand that index in-memory. This requires
parsing trees using that index's repository.

Sparse directory entries have a specific 'ce_mode' value. The macro
S_ISSPARSEDIR(ce->ce_mode) can check if a cache_entry 'ce' has this type.
This ce_mode is not possible with the existing index formats, so we don't
also verify all properties of a sparse-directory entry, which are:

 1. ce->ce_mode == 0040000
 2. ce->flags & CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is true
 3. ce->name[ce->namelen - 1] == '/' (ends in dir separator)
 4. ce->oid references a tree object.

These are all semi-enforced in ensure_full_index() to some extent. Any
deviation will cause a warning at minimum or a failure in the worst
case.
