When a worktree is reused by actions/checkout and the first time sparse checkout was enabled, we need to ensure that the second time it is only a sparse checkout if explicitly asked for. Otherwise, we need to disable the sparse checkout so that a full checkout is the outcome of this Action.
## Details
* If no `sparse-checkout` parameter is specified, disable it
This should allow users to reuse existing folders when running
`actions/checkout` where a previous run asked for a sparse checkout but
the current run does not ask for a sparse checkout.
This fixes https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/1475
There are use cases in particular with non-ephemeral (self-hosted) runners where an
existing worktree (that has been initialized as a sparse checkout) is
reused in subsequent CI runs (where `actions/checkout` is run _without_
any `sparse-checkout` parameter).
In these scenarios, we need to make sure that the sparse checkout is
disabled before checking out the files.
### Also includes:
* npm run build
* ci: verify that an existing sparse checkout can be made unsparse
* Added a clarifying comment about test branches.
* `test-proxy` now uses newly-minted `test-ubuntu-git` container image from ghcr.io

* Add support for sparse checkouts
* sparse-checkout: optionally turn off cone mode
While it _is_ true that cone mode is the default nowadays (mainly for
performance reasons: code mode is much faster than non-cone mode), there
_are_ legitimate use cases where non-cone mode is really useful.
Let's add a flag to optionally disable cone mode.

* Verify minimum Git version for sparse checkout
The `git sparse-checkout` command is available only since Git version
v2.25.0. The `actions/checkout` Action actually supports older Git
versions than that; As of time of writing, the minimum version is
v2.18.0.
Instead of raising this minimum version even for users who do not
require a sparse checkout, only check for this minimum version
specifically when a sparse checkout was asked for.

* Support sparse checkout/LFS better
Instead of fetching all the LFS objects present in the current revision
in a sparse checkout, whether they are needed inside the sparse cone or
not, let's instead only pull the ones that are actually needed.
To do that, let's avoid running that preemptive `git lfs fetch` call in
case of a sparse checkout.
An alternative that was considered during the development of this patch
(and ultimately rejected) was to use `git lfs pull --include <path>...`,
but it turned out to be too inflexible because it requires exact paths,
not the patterns that are available via the sparse checkout definition,
and that risks running into command-line length limitations.
