configure: New --enable-sparse option to enable sparse checking by default.
Until now, "make" called sparse to do checking only if C=1 was passed on
the command line. It was easy for developers to forget to specify that.
This commit adds another option: specifying --enable-sparse on the
configure command line enables sparse checking by default. (It can still
be disabled with C=0.)
