This series integrates the sparse index with git reset and provides
miscellaneous fixes and improvements to the command in sparse checkouts.
This includes:
1. tests added to t1092 and p2000 to establish the baseline functionality
of the command
2. repository settings to enable the sparse index with ensure_full_index
guarding any code paths that break tests without other compatibility
updates.
3. modifications to remove or reduce the scope in which ensure_full_index
must be called.
The sparse index updates are predicated on a fix originating from the
microsoft/git fork [1], correcting how git reset --mixed handles resetting
entries outside the sparse checkout definition. Additionally, a performance
"bug" in next_cache_entry with sparse index is corrected, preventing
repeatedly looping over already-searched entries.
The p2000 tests demonstrate a ~70% execution time reduction in git reset
using a sparse index, and no change (within expected variability [2]) using
a full index. Results summarized below [3, 4]:

Changes since V1
================
* Add --force-full-index option to update-index. The option is used
circumvent changing command_requires_full_index from its default value -
right now this is effectively a no-op, but will change once update-index
is integrated with sparse index. By using this option in the t1092
expand/collapse test, the command used to test will not need to be
updated with subsequent sparse index integrations.
* Update implementation of mixed reset for entries outside sparse checkout
definition. The condition in which a file should be checked out before
index reset is simplified to "if it has skip-worktree enabled and a reset
would change the file, check it out".
* After checking the behavior of update_index_from_diff with renames,
found that the diff used by reset does not produce diff queue entries
with different pathnames for one and two. Because of this, and that
nothing in the implementation seems to rely on identical path names, no
BUG check is added.
* Correct a bug in the sparse index is not expanded tests in t1092 where
failure of a git reset --mixed test was not being reported. Test now
verifies an appropriate scenario with corrected failure-checking.
Changes since V2
================
* Replace patch adding checkouts for git reset --mixed with sparse checkout
with preserving the skip-worktree flag (including a new test for git
reset --mixed and update to t1092 - checkout and reset (mixed))
* Move rename of is_missing into its own patch
* Further extend t1092 tests and remove unnecessary commands/tests where
possible
* Refine logic determining which pathspecs require ensure_full_index in git
reset --mixed, add related ensure_not_expanded tests
* Add index_search_mode enum to index_name_stage_pos
* Clean up variable usage & remove unnecessary subtree_path in
prime_cache_tree_rec
* Update cover letter performance data
* More thoroughly explain changes in each commit message
Changes since V3
================
* Replace git update-index --force-full-index with git reset update-folder1
-- folder1/a, remove introduction of new --force-full-index option
entirely, and add comment clarifying the intent of sparse-index is
expanded and converted back test
* Fix authorship on reset: preserve skip-worktree bit in mixed reset
(current patch fully replaces original patch, but metadata of the
original wasn't properly replaced)
Changes since V4
================
* Update t1092 test 'checkout and reset (mixed)' to explicitly verify
differences between sparse and full checkouts

[3] If a test and/or commit is not mentioned, there is no significant change
to performance [4] Pathspec "does-not-exist" is changed to "missing" to save
space in performance report
