[PATCH v1 4/4] rm: integrate with sparse-index

Enable the sparse index within the `git-rm` command.

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for
'git rm' using a sparse index.

Test                                     before  after
-------------------------------------------------------------
2000.74: git rm -f f2/f4/a (full-v3)     0.66    0.88 +33.0%
2000.75: git rm -f f2/f4/a (full-v4)     0.67    0.75 +12.0%
2000.76: git rm -f f2/f4/a (sparse-v3)   1.99    0.08 -96.0%
2000.77: git rm -f f2/f4/a (sparse-v4)   2.06    0.07 -96.6%

Also, normalize a behavioral difference of `git-rm` under sparse-index.
See related discussion [1].

`git-rm` a sparse-directory entry within a sparse-index enabled repo
behaves differently from a sparse directory within a sparse-checkout
enabled repo.

For example, in a sparse-index repo, where 'folder1' is a
sparse-directory entry, `git rm -r --sparse folder1` provides this:

        rm 'folder1/'

Whereas in a sparse-checkout repo *without* sparse-index, doing so
provides this:

        rm 'folder1/0/0/0'
        rm 'folder1/0/1'
        rm 'folder1/a'

Because `git rm` a sparse-directory entry does not need to expand the
index, therefore we should accept the current behavior, which is faster
than "expand the sparse-directory entry to match the sparse-checkout
situation".

Modify a previous test so such difference is not considered as an error.
