Add support for sparse checkouts (#1369)

Browse source 
* 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.
