sparse-index: update do_read_index to ensure correct sparsity
Unless `command_requires_full_index` forces index expansion, ensure in-core index sparsity matches config settings on read by calling `ensure_correct_sparsity`. This makes the behavior of the in-core index more consistent between different methods of updating sparsity: manually changing the `index.sparse` config setting vs. executing `git sparse-checkout --[no-]sparse-index init` Although index sparsity is normally updated with `git sparse-checkout init`, ensuring correct sparsity after a manual `index.sparse` change has some practical benefits: 1. It allows for command-by-command sparsity toggling with `-c index.sparse=<true|false>`, e.g. when troubleshooting issues with the sparse index. 2. It prevents users from experiencing abnormal slowness after setting `index.sparse` to `true` due to use of a full index in all commands until the on-disk index is updated.
