checkout: introduce checkout.overlayMode config

In the previous patch we introduced a new no-overlay mode for git
checkout.  Some users (such as the author of this commit) may want to
have this mode turned on by default as it matches their mental model
more closely.  Make that possible by introducing a new config option
to that extend.

will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove
files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout
settings nor will it show the local changes.
checkout.overlayMode::
In the default overlay mode, `git checkout` never
removes files from the index or the working tree. When
setting `checkout.overlayMode` to false, files that appear in
the index and working tree, but not in <tree-ish> are removed,
to make them match <tree-ish> exactly.
