The merge-ours built-in opens the index to compare it against HEAD.
The machinery used to do this (i.e. run_diff_index()) is capable of
working with a sparse index, but the start-up sequence of this
command does not take the necessary steps, so we end up expanding the
index fully before doing the comparison.

In order to convince sparse-index.c:is_sparse_index_allowed() to
return true, we need to:

 - Read basic configuration with git_default_config so that global
   variables like core_apply_sparse_checkout are populated.
   merge-ours currently does not read configuration at all.

 - Set command_requires_full_index to 0.

With that, the command can work without expanding the index fully
before doing its work.
