From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>
The sparse-checkout feature can have quadratic performance as the number of patterns and number of entries in the index grow. If there are 1,000 patterns and 1,000,000 entries, this time can be very significant.
Create a new 'cone' mode for the core.sparseCheckout config option, and adjust the parser to set an appropriate enum value.
While adjusting the type of this variable, rename it from core_apply_sparse_checkout to core_sparse_checkout. This will help avoid parallel changes from hitting type issues, and we can guarantee that all uses now consider the enum values instead of the int value.
