With cone mode as the default, it makes sense to discuss it before
non-cone mode. Also, the new default means we can just use directories
in most cases and users do not need to understand patterns or their
meanings. Let's take advantage of this to mark several sections as
"INTERNALS", notifying the user that they do not need to know all those
details in order to make use of the sparse-checkout command.

Now that cone mode is the default, we'd like to focus on the arguments
to set/add being directories rather than patterns, and it probably makes
sense to provide an earlier heads up that files from leading directories
get included as well.

Typically with sparse checkouts, we expect files outside the sparsity
patterns to be marked as SKIP_WORKTREE and be missing from the working
tree. Sometimes this expectation would be violated however; including
in cases such as:
* users grabbing files from elsewhere and writing them to the worktree
(perhaps by editing a cached copy in an editor, copying/renaming, or
even untarring)
* various git commands having incomplete or no support for the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit[1,2]
* users attempting to "abort" a sparse-checkout operation with a
not-so-early Ctrl+C (updating $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout and the
working tree is not atomic)[3].
When the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the index did not reflect the presence of
the file in the working tree, it traditionally caused confusion and was
difficult to detect and recover from. So, in a sparse checkout, since
af6a51875a (repo_read_index: clear SKIP_WORKTREE bit from files present
in worktree, 2022-01-14), Git automatically clears the SKIP_WORKTREE
bit at index read time for entries corresponding to files that are
present in the working tree.
There is another workflow, however, where it is expected that paths
outside the sparsity patterns appear to exist in the working tree and
that they do not lose the SKIP_WORKTREE bit, at least until they get
modified. A Git-aware virtual file system[4] takes advantage of its
position as a file system driver to expose all files in the working
tree, fetch them on demand using partial clone on access, and tell Git
to pay attention to them on demand by updating the sparse checkout
pattern on writes. This means that commands like "git status" only have
to examine files that have potentially been modified, whereas commands
like "ls" are able to show the entire codebase without requiring manual
updates to the sparse checkout pattern.
Thus since af6a51875a, Git with such Git-aware virtual file systems
unsets the SKIP_WORKTREE bit for all files and commands like "git
status" have to fetch and examine them all.
Introduce a configuration setting sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns to
allow limiting the tracked set of files to a small set once again. A
Git-aware virtual file system or other application that wants to
maintain files outside of the sparse checkout can set this in a
repository to instruct Git not to check for the presence of
SKIP_WORKTREE files. The setting defaults to false, so most users of
sparse checkout will still get the benefit of an automatically updating
index to recover from the variety of difficult issues detailed in
af6a51875a for paths with SKIP_WORKTREE set despite the path being
present.

As the option name suggests this does make things slower, e.g. for

1.08 ± 0.03 times faster than 'LSAN_OPTIONS=fast_unwind_on_malloc=0 make T=t0001-init.sh'
I think that's more than worth it to get the more meaningful stack

one-off "fast" runs.

Change the GIT_BUILD_DIR from a path like "/path/to/build/t/.." to
"/path/to/build". The "TEST_DIRECTORY" here is already made an
absolute path a few lines above this.
We could simply do $(cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/.." && pwd) here, but as
noted in the preceding commit the "$TEST_DIRECTORY" can't be anything
except the path containing this test-lib.sh file at this point, so we
can more cheaply and equally strip the "/t" off the end.
This change will be helpful to LSAN_OPTIONS which will want to strip
the build directory path from filenames, which we couldn't do if we
had a "/.." in there.

Correct a misleading comment added by me in 62f539043c (test-lib:
Allow overriding of TEST_DIRECTORY, 2010-08-19), and add an assertion
that TEST_DIRECTORY cannot point to any directory except the "t"
directory in the top-level of git.git.
This assertion is in effect not new, since we'd already die if that
wasn't the case[1], but it and the updated commentary help to make
that clearer.
The existing comments were also on the wrong arms of the
"if". I.e. the "allow tests to override this" was on the "test -z"
arm. That came about due to a combination of 62f539043c and
85176d7251 (test-lib.sh: convert $TEST_DIRECTORY to an absolute path,
2013-11-17).
Those earlier comments could be read as allowing the "$TEST_DIRECTORY"
to be some path outside of t/. As explained in the updated comment
that's impossible, rather it was meant for *tests* that ran outside of
t/, i.e. the "t0000-basic.sh" tests that use "lib-subtest.sh".
Those tests have a different working directory, but they set the
"TEST_DIRECTORY" to the same path for bootstrapping. The comments now
reflect that, and further comment on why we have a hard dependency on
this.

Change our ASAN_OPTIONS and LSAN_OPTIONS to set defaults for those
variables, rather than punting out entirely if we already have them in
the environment.
We want to take any user-provided settings over our own, but we can do
that by prepending our defaults to the variable. The libsanitizer
options parsing has "last option wins" semantics.
It's now possible to do e.g.:
LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1 ./t0006-date.sh
And not have the "report_objects=1" setting overwrite our sensible
default of "abort_on_error=1", but by prepending to the list we ensure
that:
LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1:abort_on_error=0 ./t0006-date.sh
Will take the desired "abort_on_error=0" over our default.
See b0f4c9087e (t: support clang/gcc AddressSanitizer, 2014-12-08)
for the original pattern being altered here, and
85b81b35ff (test-lib: set LSAN_OPTIONS to abort by default,
2017-09-05) for when LSAN_OPTIONS was added in addition to the
then-existing ASAN_OPTIONS.

The script uses "git show -s" to display the title of the merge
commit being studied, without explicitly disabling the pager, which
is not a safe thing to do in a script.
For example, when the pager is set to "less" with "-SF" options (-S
tells the pager not to fold lines but allow horizontal scrolling to
show the overly long lines, -F tells the pager not to wait if the
output in its entirety is shown on a single page), and the title of
the merge commit is longer than the width of the terminal, the pager
will wait until the end-user tells it to quit after showing the
single line.
Explicitly disable the pager with this "git show" invocation to fix
this.
The command uses the "--pretty=format:..." format, which adds LF in
between each pair of commits it outputs, which means that the label
for the merge being learned from will be followed by the next
message on the same line. "--pretty=tformat:..." is what we should
instead, which adds LF after each commit, or a more modern way to
spell it, i.e. "--format=...". This existing breakage becomes
easier to see, now we no longer use the pager.
