For <ip pim bsr-candidate> the usage guidelines from CCO specifies
that we should enable pim sparse mode on the interfaces used as
address for BSR.

The question is do we need to enable ip pim sparse-mode on the
interface used as the RP candidate address ?
I have a scenario (IE CCIE SP Vol1, Bootstrap Router) that it works
without enabling pim sparse mode on loopback 0 on the candidate RP.
However the solution has the command pim sparse mode under the
loopback interface.
