Turn on sparse index and remove ensure_full_index().
Change it to only expands the index when using --sparse.
The p2000 tests demonstrate a ~99.4% execution time reduction for
`git grep` using a sparse index.
Test Before After
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
git grep --cached bogus (full-v3) 0.019 0.018 (-5.2%)
git grep --cached bogus (full-v4) 0.017 0.016 (-5.8%)
git grep --cached bogus (sparse-v3) 0.29 0.0015 (-99.4%)
git grep --cached bogus (sparse-v4) 0.30 0.0018 (-99.4%)
Optional reading about performance test results
-----------------------------------------------
Notice that because `git-grep` needs to parse blobs in the index, the
index reading time is minuscule comparing to the object parsing time.
And because of this, the p2000 test results cannot clearly reflect the
speedup for index reading: combining with the object parsing time,
the aggregated time difference is extremely close between HEAD~1 and
HEAD.
Hence, the results presenting here are not directly extracted from the
p2000 test results. Instead, to make the performance difference more
visible, the test command is manually ran with GIT_TRACE2_PERF in the
four repos (full-v3, sparse-v3, full-v4, sparse-v4). The numbers here
are then extracted from the time difference between "region_enter" and
"region_leave" of label "do_read_index".
