update-index: reduce scope of index expansion in do_reupdate

Replace unconditional index expansion in 'do_reupdate()' with one scoped to only where a full index is needed. A full index is only required in 'do_reupdate()' when a sparse directory in the index differs from HEAD; in that case, the index is expanded and the operation restarted. Because the index should only be expanded if a sparse directory is modified, add a test ensuring the index is not expanded when differences only exist within the sparse cone.
