Merge pull request git-for-windows#470: Sparse Index: integrate with git show

As we roll out the sparse index feature, here is a command that I see being used more frequently than other non-integrated commands. (For example, `git mv` is used much less frequently.)

Since the index expansion only happens when using `git show :<path>` to indicate that we are looking for a cached value, this is very likely being used by a tool and not directly by users. However, the performance slowdown is around 10x (0.4s to 4.1s at p50).

The change here is simple, and we can catch up the performance in the next release. There is a slightly odd behavior change when asking for a directory that now "works" but did not work at all before. See the test change in the second commit for details.
