[PATCH v2 4/7] read-tree: integrate with sparse index

["Victoria Dye via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Enable use of sparse index in 'git read-tree'. The integration in this patch
is limited only to usage of 'read-tree' that does not need additional
functional changes for the sparse index to behave as expected (i.e., produce
the same user-facing results as a non-sparse index sparse-checkout). To
ensure no unexpected behavior occurs, the index is explicitly expanded when:

* '--no-sparse-checkout' is specified (because it disables sparse-checkout)
* '--prefix' is specified (if the prefix is inside a sparse directory, the
  prefixed tree cannot be properly traversed)
* two or more <tree-ish> arguments are specified ('twoway_merge' and
  'threeway_merge' do not yet support merging sparse directories)
