read-tree: narrow scope of index expansion for '--prefix'

When 'git read-tree' is provided with a prefix, expand the index only if the
prefix is equivalent to a sparse directory or contained within one. If the
index is not expanded in these cases, 'ce_in_traverse_path' will indicate
that the relevant sparse directory is not in the prefix/traverse path,
skipping past it and not unpacking the appropriate tree(s).

If the prefix is in-cone, its sparse subdirectories (if any) will be
traversed correctly without index expansion.

The behavior of 'git read-tree' with prefixes 1) inside of cone, 2) equal to
a sparse directory, and 3) inside a sparse directory are all tested as part
of the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --prefix',
ensuring that the sparse index case works the way it did prior to this
change as well as matching non-sparse index sparse-checkout.
