sparse-checkout: 'set' subcommand
The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
as arguments and writes them to the sparse-checkout file. Then, it
updates the working directory using 'git read-tree -mu HEAD'.
The 'set' subcommand will replace the entire contents of the
sparse-checkout file. The write_patterns_and_update() method is
extracted from cmd_sparse_checkout() to make it easier to implement
'add' and/or 'remove' subcommands in the future.
If the core.sparseCheckout config setting is disabled, then enable
the config setting in the worktree config. If we set the config
this way and the sparse-checkout fails, then re-disable the config
setting.
