I tried coming up with a user-facing name that wasn't too focused on the
internal implementation, but it ends up being misleading. The intention was
to have this be a variation of `git update-index` that uses the default
setting for `command_requires_full_index` but then proceeds to read and
write the index as `update-index` normally would. Something like
`--use-default-index-sparsity` might have been more accurate?

In the test's use-case, `active_cache_changed` ends up set to
`CACHE_TREE_CHANGED`, which forces writing the index. It is still
effectively a no-op, but it serves the needs of the test.
In any case, Elijah suggested using a `test-tool` subcommand for this
purpose [1], which I think is more appropriate overall. Something like
`test-tool read-write-cache` can be implemented to make no mention of
`command_requires_full_index` (therefore using its default value) and force
a basic read & write of the index. It also eliminates the issue of having a
user-facing name at all, and can easily be removed once all sparse index
integrations are done.
