sparse-checkout: create 'add' subcommand

When using the sparse-checkout feature, a user may want to incrementally
grow their sparse-checkout pattern set. Allow adding patterns using a
new 'add' subcommand. This is not much different from the 'set'
subcommand, because we still want to allow the '--stdin' option and
interpret inputs as directories when in cone mode and patterns
otherwise.

When in cone mode, we are growing the cone. This may actually reduce the
set of patterns when adding directory A when A/B is already a directory
in the cone. Test the different cases: siblings, parents, ancestors.

When not in cone mode, we can only assume the patterns should be
appended to the sparse-checkout file.
