This series makes git-grep restrict its output to the sparsity patterns when requested by the user. A new global option is added to control this behavior in grep and hopefully more commands in the future. There is also a fix in config.c, to correctly read worktree-specific settings on submodules.

Changes since v5:
Patch 2:
- Avoid complex '\'quoting\'' by using '.', as the string is going to
  be used in a grep search.
- Split the check_config auxiliary function into two, to remove some
  unecessary logic and future-proof them against wrong usages of
  test-config.
Patch 4: reword commit message to focus on correctly diagnosing missing
         arguments.
Patch 5: don't replace explicit `return 0` with `return ret`.
Added patch 6, passing a `struct repository` to do_git_config_sequence().
Patch 6:
- Removed global `repository_format_worktree_config` and cached
  extensions.worktreeConfig value in `struct repository`, to avoid repeating
  repository format discovery.
- Improved commit message as suggested by Jonathan.
- Use usage_with_options()

         config: correctly read worktree configs in submodules
     
         The config machinery is not able to read worktree configs from a
    -    submodule in a process where the_repository represents the superproject.
    -    Furthermore, when extensions.worktreeConfig is set on the superproject,
    -    querying for a worktree config in a submodule will, instead, return
    -    the value set at the superproject.
    -
    -    The problem resides in do_git_config_sequence(). Although the function
    -    receives a git_dir string, it uses the_repository->git_dir when making
    -    the path to the worktree config file. And when checking if
    -    extensions.worktreeConfig is set, it uses the global
    -    repository_format_worktree_config variable, which refers to
    -    the_repository only. So let's fix this by using the git_dir given to the
    -    function and reading the extension value from the right place. Also add
    -    a test to avoid any regressions.
    +    submodule in a process where the_repository represents the superproject
    +    and extensions.worktreeConfig is not set there. Furthermore, when
    +    extensions.worktreeConfig is set on the superproject, querying for a
    +    worktree config in a submodule will, instead, return the value set at
    +    the superproject.
    +
    +    The relevant code is in do_git_config_sequence(). Although it is
    +    designed to act on an arbitrary repository, specified in the passed-in
    +    `struct config_options`, it accidentally depends on the_repository in
    +    two places:
    +
    +    - it reads the global variable `repository_format_worktree_config`,
    +      which is set based on the content of the_repository, to determine
    +      whether extensions.worktreeConfig is set.
    +
    +    - it uses the git_pathdup() helper to find the config.worktree file,
    +      instead of making a path using the passed-in repository.
    +
    +    Sever these dependencies and add a regression test. Also, to avoid
    +    future misuses of `repository_format_worktree_config` like this one,
    +    remove this global variable and store the config value on
    +    `struct repository` itself.
