sparse-checkout: match some 'clean' behavior
The 'git sparse-checkout clean' subcommand is somewhat similar to 'git
clean' in that it will delete files that should not be in the worktree.
The big difference is that it focuses on the directories that should not
be in the worktree due to cone-mode sparse-checkout. It also does not
discriminate in the kinds of files and focuses on deleting entire
directories.
However, there are some restrictions that would be good to bring over
from 'git clean', specifically how it refuses to do anything without the
'-f'/'--force' or '-n'/'--dry-run' arguments. The 'clean.requireForce'
config can be set to 'false' to imply '--force'.
Add this behavior to avoid accidental deletion of files that cannot be
recovered from Git.
