unpack-trees: ensure full index

The next change will translate full indexes into sparse indexes at write
time. The existing logic provides a way for every sparse index to be
expanded to a full index at read time. However, there are cases where an
index is written and then continues to be used in-memory to perform
further updates.

unpack_trees() is frequently called after such a write. In particular,
commands like 'git reset' do this double-update of the index.

Ensure that we have a full index when entering unpack_trees(), but only
when command_requires_full_index is true. This is always true at the
moment, but we will later relax that after unpack_trees() is updated to
handle sparse directory entries.
