merge-ours: integrate with sparse-index

The merge-ours built-in opens the index to compare it against HEAD. The machinery used to do this (i.e. run_diff_index()) is capable of working with a sparse index, but the start-up sequence of this command does not take the necessary steps, so we end up expanding the index fully before doing the comparison. In order to convince sparse-index.c:is_sparse_index_allowed() to return true, we need to: - Read basic configuration with git_default_config so that global variables like core_apply_sparse_checkout are populated. merge-ours currently does not read configuration at all. - Set command_requires_full_index to 0. With that, the command can work without expanding the index fully before doing its work. Signed-off-by: Sam Bostock <sam@sambostock.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
