From: Elijah Newren <redacted>

setup_unpack_trees_porcelain() provides much improved error/warning
messages; instead of a message that assumes that there is only one path
with a given problem despite being used by code that intentionally is
grouping and showing errors together, it uses a message designed to be
used with groups of paths.  For example, this transforms

    error: Entry '	folder1/a
	folder2/a
    ' not uptodate. Cannot update sparse checkout.

into

    error: Cannot update sparse checkout: the following entries are not up to date:
	folder1/a
	folder2/a

In the past the suboptimal messages were never actually triggered
because we would error out if the working directory wasn't clean before
we even called unpack_trees().  The previous commit changed that,
though, so let's use the better error messages.
