[PATCH v4 3/3] sparse-checkout: refuse to add to bad patterns

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When in cone mode sparse-checkout, it is unclear how 'git
sparse-checkout add <dir1> ...' should behave if the existing
sparse-checkout file does not match the cone mode patterns. Change the
behavior to fail with an error message about the existing patterns.

Also, all cone mode patterns start with a '/' character, so add that
restriction. This is necessary for our example test 'cone mode: warn on
bad pattern', but also requires modifying the example sparse-checkout
file we use to test the warnings related to recognizing cone mode
patterns.

This error checking would cause a failure further down the test script
because of a test that adds non-cone mode patterns without cleaning them
up. Perform that cleanup as part of the test now.
