In large repository using sparse checkout, checking whether a file marked with skip worktree is present on disk and its skip worktree bit should be cleared can take a considerable amount of time. Add a trace2 region to surface this information.

     -    In a large repository using sparse checkout, checking whether a file marked
     -    with skip worktree is present on disk and its skip worktree bit should be
     -    cleared can take a considerable amount of time. Add a trace2 region to
     -    surface this information, keeping a count of how many paths have been
     -    checked and separately keep counts for after a full index is materialised.
     +    When using sparse checkout, clear_skip_worktree_from_present_files() must
     +    enumerate index entries to find ones with the SKIP_WORKTREE bit to
     +    determine whether those index entries exist on disk (in which case their
     +    SKIP_WORKTREE bit should be removed).
     +
     +    In a large repository, this may take considerable time depending on the
     +    size of the index.
     +
     +    Add a trace2 region to surface this information, keeping a count of how
     +    many paths have been checked. Separately, keep counts after a full index is
     +    materialized.
