contrib: AMF: improve sparse checkout

git sparse-checkout was only added in 2.25 (2020) [1]. Older git (1.7+) can
handle a sparse checkout setting the .git/info/sparse-checkout data.

We also clone with --filter=blob:none --no-checkout which downloads less from the host.

- remove --fitler as it's not supported in git 2.11.0 used by 3.0 Dockers
