merge-ort: expand only for out-of-cone conflicts

Merge conflicts happen often enough to want to avoid expanding a sparse
index when they happen, as long as those conflicts are within the
sparse-checkout cone. If a conflict exists outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, then we still need to expand before iterating over
the index entries. This is critical to do in advance because of how the
original_cache_nr is tracked to allow inserting and replacing cache
entries.

Iterate over the conflicted files and check if any paths are outside of
the sparse-checkout cone. If so, then expand the full index.

Add a test that demonstrates that we do not expand the index, even when
we hit a conflict within the sparse-checkout cone.
