read-tree: make three-way merge sparse-aware

Enable use of 'merged_sparse_dir' in 'threeway_merge'. As with two-way
merge, the contents of each conflicted sparse directory are merged without
referencing the index, avoiding sparse index expansion.

As with two-way merge, the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test
'read-tree --merge with edit/edit conflicts in sparse directories' confirms
that three-way merges with edit/edit changes (both with and without
conflicts) inside a sparse directory result in the correct index state or
error message. To ensure the index is not unnecessarily expanded, add
three-way merge cases to 'sparse index is not expanded: read-tree'.
