Merge pull request #414: Make sparse index the default

This branch is exactly #410, but with one more commit: enabling the sparse index by default in d59110a.

Having this in the `vfs-2.33.0` branch helps build confidence that the sparse index is doing what it should be doing by running in the Scalar functional tests and in our test branches.

If we want to cut a new `microsoft/git` release without enabling the sparse index, we can simply revert this commit.
