sparse-checkout: add sanity-checks on initial sparsity state

Most sparse-checkout subcommands (list, add, reapply) only make sense when already in a sparse state. Add a quick check that will error out early if this is not the case. Also document with a comment why we do not exit early in `disable` even when core.sparseCheckout starts as false.
