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.
