Subject: [PATCH v6 02/19] sparse-checkout: create 'init' subcommand

From: Derrick Stolee <[email-masked]>

Getting started with a sparse-checkout file can be daunting. Help
users start their sparse enlistment using 'git sparse-checkout init'.
This will set 'core.sparseCheckout=true' in their config, write
an initial set of patterns to the sparse-checkout file, and update
their working directory.

Make sure to use the `extensions.worktreeConfig` setting and write
the sparse checkout config to the worktree-specific config file.
This avoids confusing interactions with other worktrees.

The use of running another process for 'git read-tree' is sub-
optimal. This will be removed in a later change.
