[PATCH v3 14/17] sparse-checkout: sanitize for nested folders

[Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget]

From: Derrick Stolee <dsto...@microsoft.com>

If a user provides folders A/ and A/B/ for inclusion in a cone-mode
sparse-checkout file, the parsing logic will notice that A/ appears
both as a "parent" type pattern and as a "recursive" type pattern.
This is unexpected and hence will complain via a warning and revert
to the old logic for checking sparse-checkout patterns.

Prevent this from happening accidentally by sanitizing the folders
for this type of inclusion in the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin.
This happens in two ways:

1. Do not include any parent patterns that also appear as recursive
   patterns.

2. Do not include any recursive patterns deeper than other recursive
   patterns.

In order to minimize duplicate code for scanning parents, create
hashmap_contains_parent() method. It takes a strbuf buffer to
avoid reallocating a buffer when calling in a tight loop.
