Cover letter [PATCH v2 0/7] Sparse index: integrate with commit and checkout

This series extends our integration of sparse-index to 'git commit' and 'git checkout'.

This is based on ds/status-with-sparse-index (v7) and v2.32.0. The hard work was already done in that topic, so these changes are simple.

Recall that we have delayed our integration with 'git add' until we can work out the concerns about how to deal with pathspecs outside of the sparse-checkout definition. Those concerns might have some overlap with how 'git commit' takes a pathspec, but this seems like a rare enough case to handle here and we can be more careful with the behavior change in the next series which will integrate with git add.

In addition to the tests that already exist in t1092, I have integrated these changes in microsoft/git and tested them against the Scalar functional tests, which go through quite a few complicated scenarios, verifying that things work the same across the full index and sparse-index cases.

Update in V2
============

* There is no change to the code, but it is presented in a slightly different order.
* We've been discussing some complicated directory/file conflict cases, in particular with a staged change inside the directory. These tests are added and described as documenting incorrect behavior that should be changed.
* After those tests are in place, we can motivate the change to twoway_merge() as necessary for a more-common situation (still rare) but still incorrect in an already-broken situation. Hopefully that balance is sufficient for now, until we can do the bigger work of fixing the bad behavior.

Thanks, -Stolee
