[PATCH v2] unpack-trees: do not fail reset because of unmerged skipped entry

After modify/delete merge conflict happens in a file skipped by sparse checkout, "git reset --merge", which implements the "--abort" actions, and "git reset --hard" fail with message "Entry * not uptodate. Cannot update sparse checkout."

As explained in [1], the up-to-date checker mistakenly treats conflicted entry which does not exist in HEAD as still skipped by sparse checkout.

Use the fix suggested in [1]. Also, add test case which verifies the issue is fixed.

* used the right fix. Probably there should be sign off?
* add extra check that state is correct after the reset. it is literally
  different from the one described by Junio but should be equivalent for this
