* Check git version before attempting to disable `sparse-checkout`
* Bump `MinimumGitSparseCheckoutVersion` to 2.28 due to #1386
* Initial prep for release 4.1.3
When a worktree is reused by actions/checkout and the first time sparse checkout was enabled, we need to ensure that the second time it is only a sparse checkout if explicitly asked for. Otherwise, we need to disable the sparse checkout so that a full checkout is the outcome of this Action.
## Details
* If no `sparse-checkout` parameter is specified, disable it
This should allow users to reuse existing folders when running
`actions/checkout` where a previous run asked for a sparse checkout but
the current run does not ask for a sparse checkout.
This fixes https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/1475
There are use cases in particular with non-ephemeral (self-hosted) runners where an
existing worktree (that has been initialized as a sparse checkout) is
reused in subsequent CI runs (where `actions/checkout` is run _without_
any `sparse-checkout` parameter).
In these scenarios, we need to make sure that the sparse checkout is
disabled before checking out the files.
### Also includes:
* npm run build
* ci: verify that an existing sparse checkout can be made unsparse
* Added a clarifying comment about test branches.
* `test-proxy` now uses newly-minted `test-ubuntu-git` container image from ghcr.io

Setting the `show-progress` option to false in the `with` section of the
workflow step will cause git fetch to run without `--progress`.
The motivation is to be able to suppress the noisy progress status
output which adds many hundreds of "remote: Counting objects: 85%
(386/453)" and similar lines in the workflow log.
This should be sufficient to resolve #894 and its older friends,
though the solution is different to the one proposed there because
it doesn't use the --quiet flag. IIUC git doesn't show the progress
status by default since the output is not a terminal, so that's why
removing the --progress option is all that's needed.
Adding the --quiet flag doesn't make a lot of difference once the
--progress flag is removed, and actually I think using --quiet would
suppress some other more useful output that would be better left
visible.

* Add support for sparse checkouts
* sparse-checkout: optionally turn off cone mode
While it _is_ true that cone mode is the default nowadays (mainly for
performance reasons: code mode is much faster than non-cone mode), there
_are_ legitimate use cases where non-cone mode is really useful.
Let's add a flag to optionally disable cone mode.

* Verify minimum Git version for sparse checkout
The `git sparse-checkout` command is available only since Git version
v2.25.0. The `actions/checkout` Action actually supports older Git
versions than that; As of time of writing, the minimum version is
v2.18.0.
Instead of raising this minimum version even for users who do not
require a sparse checkout, only check for this minimum version
specifically when a sparse checkout was asked for.

* Support sparse checkout/LFS better
Instead of fetching all the LFS objects present in the current revision
in a sparse checkout, whether they are needed inside the sparse cone or
not, let's instead only pull the ones that are actually needed.
To do that, let's avoid running that preemptive `git lfs fetch` call in
case of a sparse checkout.
An alternative that was considered during the development of this patch
(and ultimately rejected) was to use `git lfs pull --include <path>...`,
but it turned out to be too inflexible because it requires exact paths,
not the patterns that are available via the sparse checkout definition,
and that risks running into command-line length limitations.

When trying to list local branches to figure out what needs cleaned up during runs on non-ephemeral Actions Runners, we use git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name to get a list of branches. This can lead to ambiguous ref name errors when there are branches and tags with similar names.
Part of the reason we use rev-parse --symbolic-full-name vs git branch --list or git rev-parse --symbolic seems to related to a bug in Git 2.18. Until we can deprecate our usage of Git 2.18, I think we need to keep --symbolic-full-name. Since part of the problem is that these ambiguous ref name errors clog the Actions annotation limits, this is a mitigation to suppress those messages until we can get rid of the workaround.
