When sparse-checkout is set and filter is not, checkout fetches with
--filter=blob:none. If the sparse patterns keep most of the repository,
the following checkout fetches each blob lazily from the promisor remote,
which is slower than one full pack.
Setting filter to 'none' now fetches without a filter. 'none' is not a
valid git filter-spec, so no existing workflow can depend on it.
The effective filter is now resolved in input-helper, so
git-source-provider has one decision point.
This PR fixes several issues with tag handling in the checkout action:
1. fetch-tags: true now works (fixes#1471)
- Tags refspec is now included in getRefSpec() when fetchTags=true
- Previously tags were only fetched during a separate fetch that was
overwritten by the main fetch
2. Tag checkout preserves annotations (fixes#290)
- Tags are fetched via refspec (+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*) instead of
--tags flag
- This fetches the actual tag objects, preserving annotations
3. Tag checkout with fetch-tags: true no longer fails (fixes#1467)
- When checking out a tag with fetchTags=true, only the wildcard
refspec is used (specific tag refspec is redundant)
Changes:
- src/ref-helper.ts: getRefSpec() now accepts fetchTags parameter and
prepends tags refspec when true
- src/git-command-manager.ts: fetch() simplified to always use --no-tags,
tags are fetched explicitly via refspec
- src/git-source-provider.ts: passes fetchTags to getRefSpec()
- Added E2E test for fetch-tags option

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.
