sparse-checkout: create helper methods

As we integrate the sparse index into more builtins, we occasionally
need to check the sparse-checkout patterns to see if a path is within
the sparse-checkout cone. Create some helper methods that help
initialize the patterns and check for pattern matching to make this
easier.

The existing callers of commands like get_sparse_checkout_patterns() use
a custom 'struct pattern_list' that is not necessarily the one in the
'struct index_state', so there are not many previous uses that could
adopt these helpers. There are just two in builtin/add.c and
sparse-index.c that can use path_in_sparse_checkout().

We add a path_in_cone_mode_sparse_checkout() as well that will only
return false if the path is outside of the sparse-checkout definition
_and_ the sparse-checkout patterns are in cone mode.
