Lessley Dennington fd6d9bec14 completion: address sparse-checkout issues
Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout
command. These issues were:

1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of
subcommands (it was missing reapply and add).
2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable.
3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed
both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising
behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete
only directory names.

Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on
directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have
some caveats. These are:

1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of
recursively completing directory names).
2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters.

These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.
