sparse-checkout: init and set in cone mode

To make the cone pattern set easy to use, update the behavior of
'git sparse-checkout (init|set)'.

Add '--cone' flag to 'git sparse-checkout init' to set the config
option 'core.sparseCheckoutCone=true'.

When running 'git sparse-checkout set' in cone mode, a user only
needs to supply a list of recursive folder matches. Git will
automatically add the necessary parent matches for the leading
directories.

When testing 'git sparse-checkout set' in cone mode, check the
error stream to ensure we do not see any errors. Specifically,
we want to avoid the warning that the patterns do not match
the cone-mode patterns.
