diff-files: integrate with sparse index

Remove full index requirement for `git diff-files`. Refactor the
ensure_expanded and ensure_not_expanded functions by introducing a
common helper function, ensure_index_state. Add test to ensure the index
is no expanded in `git diff-files`.

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for 'git
diff-files' and a ~97% execution time reduction for 'git diff-files'
for a file using a sparse index:
