In a sparse index it is possible for the tree that is being verified
to be freed while it is being verified. This happens when the index is
sparse but the cache tree is not and index_name_pos() looks up a path
from the cache tree that is a descendant of a sparse index entry. That
triggers a call to ensure_full_index() which frees the cache tree that
is being verified. Carrying on trying to verify the tree after this
results in a use-after-free bug. Instead restart the verification if a
sparse index is converted to a full index. This bug is triggered by a
call to reset_head() in "git rebase --apply". Thanks to René Scharfe
and Derrick Stolee for their help analyzing the problem.

…e_tree_verify() This is a copy of [the v2 patch sent by Philip Wood](https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1053.v2.git.1633600244854.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/T/#u). This fixes a possible segfault when a `git rebase --apply` creates a full cache tree in a sparse index. There is a slight change from Philip's patch that makes the test more robust to verbose output.
