write-tree: integrate with sparse index

Update 'git write-tree' to allow using the sparse-index in memory
without expanding to a full one.

The recursive algorithm for update_one() was already updated in 2de37c5
(cache-tree: integrate with sparse directory entries, 2021-03-03) to
handle sparse directory entries in the index. Hence we can just set the
requires-full-index to false for "write-tree".

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for 'git
write-tree' using a sparse index:

Test                                           before  after
