git-submodule: clone during update, not during init

This teaches 'git-submodule init' to register submodule paths and urls in
.git/config instead of actually cloning them. The cloning is now handled
as part of 'git-submodule update'.

With this change it is possible to specify preferred/alternate urls for
the submodules in .git/config before the submodules are cloned.
