add, rm, mv: fix bug that prevents the update of non-sparse dirs

These three commands recently learned to avoid updating paths outside
the sparse checkout even if they are missing the SKIP_WORKTREE bit. This
is done using path_in_sparse_checkout(), which checks whether a given
path matches the current list of sparsity rules, similar to what
clear_ce_flags() does when we run "git sparse checkout init" or "git
sparse-checkout reapply". However, clear_ce_flags() uses a recursive
approach, applying the match results from parent directories on paths
that get the UNDECIDED result, whereas path_in_sparse_checkout() only
attempts to match the full path and immediately considers UNDECIDED as
NOT_MATCHED. This makes the function miss matches with leading
directories. For example, if the user has the sparsity patterns "!/a"
and "b/", add, rm, and mv will fail to update the path "a/b/c" and end
up displaying a warning about it being outside the sparse checkout even
though it isn't. This problem only occurs in full pattern mode as the
pattern matching functions never return UNDECIDED for cone mode.

To fix this, replicate the recursive behavior of clear_ce_flags() in
path_in_sparse_checkout(), falling back to the parent directory match
when a path gets the UNDECIDED result. (If this turns out to be too
expensive in some cases, we may want to later add some form of caching
to accelerate multiple queries within the same directory. This is not
implemented in this patch, though.) Also add two tests for each affected
command (add, rm, and mv) to check that they behave correctly with the
recursive pattern matching. The first test would previously fail without
this patch while the second already succeeded. It is added mostly to
make sure that we are not breaking the existing pattern matching for
directories that are really sparse, and also as a protection against any
future regressions.

Two other existing tests had to be changed as well: one test in t3602
checks that "git rm -r <dir>" won't remove sparse entries, but it didn't
allow the non-sparse entries inside <dir> to be removed. The other one,
in t7002, tested that "git mv" would correctly display a warning message
for sparse paths, but it accidentally expected the message to include
two non-sparse paths as well.
