Create sparse files by default when decompressing into
a regular file. Sparse file creation can be disabled with --no-sparse. I don't promise yet that the name of this option won't change before 5.0.0. It's possible that the code, that checks when it is safe to use sparse output on stdout, is not good enough, and a more flexible command line option is needed to configure sparse file handling.
