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.

The previous changes modified the behavior of 'git add', 'git rm', and
'git mv' to not adjust paths outside the sparse-checkout cone, even if
they exist in the working tree and their cache entries lack the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit. The intention is to warn users that they are doing
something potentially dangerous. The '--sparse' option was added to each
command to allow careful users the same ability they had before.
To improve the discoverability of this new functionality, add a message
to advice.updateSparsePath that mentions the existence of the option.
The previous set of changes also modified the purpose of this message to
include possibly a list of paths instead of only a list of pathspecs.
Make the warning message more clear about this new behavior.

If a path does not match the sparse-checkout cone but is somehow missing
the SKIP_WORKTREE bit, then 'git rm' currently succeeds in removing the
file. One reason a user might be in this situation is a merge conflict
outside of the sparse-checkout cone. Removing such a file might be
problematic for users who are not sure what they are doing.
Add a check to path_in_sparse_checkout() when 'git rm' is checking if a
path should be considered for deletion. Of course, this check is ignored
if the '--sparse' option is specified, allowing users who accept the
risks to continue with the removal.
This also removes a confusing behavior where a user asks for a directory
to be removed, but only the entries that are within the sparse-checkout
definition are removed. Now, 'git rm <dir>' will fail without '--sparse'
and will succeed in removing all contained paths with '--sparse'.

As we did previously in 'git add', add a '--sparse' option to 'git rm'
that allows modifying paths outside of the sparse-checkout definition.
The existing checks in 'git rm' are restricted to tracked files that
have the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the current index. Future changes will
cause 'git rm' to reject removing paths outside of the sparse-checkout
definition, even if they are untracked or do not have the SKIP_WORKTREE
bit.

`git add` refrains from adding or updating index entries that are
outside the current sparse checkout, but `git rm` doesn't follow the
same restriction. This is somewhat counter-intuitive and inconsistent.
So make `rm` honor the sparsity rules and advise on how to remove
SKIP_WORKTREE entries just like `add` does. Also add some tests for the
new behavior.
