merge: make sparse-aware with ORT
Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases: 1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive() method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy enabled. 2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file, then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks 'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the sparse-checkout cone. 3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand, and those strategies are currently protected with the 'command_requires_full_index' guard. Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b' that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward merges.
