builtin/clone: set up sparse checkout later

When asked to do a sparse checkout, then git-clone(1) will spawn
`git sparse-checkout set` to set up the configuration accordingly. This
requires a proper Git repository or otherwise the command will fail. But
as we are about to move creation of the reference database to a later
point, this prerequisite will not hold anymore.

Move the logic to a later point in time where we know to have created
the reference database already.
