REVISION SUMMARY
  The presence of a sparse checkout can confuse legacy clients or
  clients without sparse enabled for reasons that should be obvious.
  
  This commit introduces a new repository requirement that tracks
  whether sparse is enabled. The requirement is added when a sparse
  config is activated and removed when the sparse config is reset.
  
  The localrepository constructor has been taught to not open repos
  with this requirement unless the sparse feature is enabled. It yields
  a more actionable error message than what you would get if the
  lockout were handled strictly at the requirements verification phase.
  Old clients that aren't sparse aware will see the generic
  "repository requires features unknown to this Mercurial" error,
  however.
  
  The new requirement has "exp" in its name to reflect the
  experimental nature of sparse. There's a chance that the eventual
  non-experimental feature won't change significantly and we could
  have squatted on the "sparse" requirement without ill effect. If
  that happens, we can teach new clients to still recognize the old
  name. But I suspect we'll sneak in some BC and we'll want a new
  requirement to convey new meaning.
