From: Victoria Dye <redacted>

The purpose of the `ensure_correct_sparsity` function is to provide a means
of aligning the in-core index with the sparsity required by the repository
settings and other properties of the index. The function will first attempt
to convert the index to sparse, now with a "SPARSE_INDEX_VERIFY_ALLOWED"
flag that forces the function to return a nonzero value if repository
settings do not allow use of a sparse index. If a nonzero value is returned,
the index is expanded to full with `ensure_full_index`.
