blame: enable and test the sparse index

Enable the sparse index for the 'git blame' command. The index was already
not expanded with this command, so the most interesting thing to do is to
add tests that verify that 'git blame' behaves correctly when the sparse
index is enabled and that its performance improves. More specifically, these
cases are:

1. The index is not expanded for 'blame' when given paths in the sparse
checkout cone at multiple levels.

2. Performance measurably improves for 'blame' with sparse index when given
paths in the sparse checkout cone at multiple levels.

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~60% execution time reduction when running
'blame' for a file two levels deep and and a ~30% execution time reduction
for a file three levels deep.

2000.99: git blame f2/f4/f3/a (sparse-v4)    1.05    0.73 -30.5%

We do not include paths outside the sparse checkout cone because blame
does not support blaming files that are not present in the working
directory. This is true in both sparse and full checkouts.
