The previous changes modified the behavior of 'git add', 'git rm', and
'git mv' to not adjust paths outside the sparse-checkout cone, even if
they exist in the working tree and their cache entries lack the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit. The intention is to warn users that they are doing
something potentially dangerous. The '--sparse' option was added to each
command to allow careful users the same ability they had before.
To improve the discoverability of this new functionality, add a message
to advice.updateSparsePath that mentions the existence of the option.
The previous set of changes also modified the purpose of this message to
include possibly a list of paths instead of only a list of pathspecs.
Make the warning message more clear about this new behavior.

We added checks for path_in_sparse_checkout() to portions of 'git add'
that add warnings and prevent stagins a modification, but we skipped the
--renormalize mode. Update renormalize_tracked_files() to ignore cache
entries whose path is outside of the sparse-checkout cone (unless
--sparse is provided). Add a test in t3705.

We previously modified 'git add' to refuse updating index entries
outside of the sparse-checkout cone. This is justified to prevent users
from accidentally getting into a confusing state when Git removes those
files from the working tree at some later point.
Unfortunately, this caused some workflows that were previously possible
to become impossible, especially around merge conflicts outside of the
sparse-checkout cone. These were documented in tests within t1092.
We now re-enable these workflows using a new '--sparse' option to 'git
add'. This allows users to signal "Yes, I do know what I'm doing with
these files," and accept the consequences of the files leaving the
worktree later.
We delay updating the advice message until implementing a similar option
in 'git rm' and 'git mv'.

When 'git add' adds a tracked file that is outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, it checks the SKIP_WORKTREE bit to see if the file
exists outside of the sparse-checkout cone. This is usually correct,
except in the case of a merge conflict outside of the cone.
Modify add_pathspec_matched_against_index() to be more careful about
paths by checking the sparse-checkout patterns in addition to the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit. This causes 'git add' to no longer allow files
outside of the cone that removed the SKIP_WORKTREE bit due to a merge
conflict.
With only this change, users will only be able to add the file after
adding the file to the sparse-checkout cone. A later change will allow
users to force adding even though the file is outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.

The tests in t3705-add-sparse-checkout.sh check to see how 'git add'
behaves with paths outside the sparse-checkout definition. These
currently check to see if a given warning is present but not that the
index is not updated with the sparse entries. Add a new
'test_sparse_entry_unstaged' helper to be sure 'git add' is behaving
correctly.
We need to modify setup_sparse_entry to actually commit the sparse_entry
file so it exists at HEAD and as an entry in the index, but its exact
contents are not staged in the index.

`git add` already refrains from updating SKIP_WORKTREE entries, but it
silently exits with zero code when it is asked to do so. Instead, let's
warn the user and display a hint on how to update these entries.
Note that we only warn the user whey they give a pathspec item that
matches no eligible path for updating, but it does match one or more
SKIP_WORKTREE entries. A warning was chosen over erroring out right away
to reproduce the same behavior `add` already exhibits with ignored
files. This also allow users to continue their workflow without having
to invoke `add` again with only the eligible paths (as those will have
already been added).

We already have a couple tests for `add` with SKIP_WORKTREE entries in
t7012, but these only cover the most basic scenarios. As we will be
changing how `add` deals with sparse paths in the subsequent commits,
let's move these two tests to their own file and add more test cases
for different `add` options and situations. This also demonstrates two
options that don't currently respect SKIP_WORKTREE entries: `--chmod`
and `--renormalize`.
