[RFC/PATCH v3 1/3] tree.c: teach read_tree_recursive how to traverse gitlink entries

When the callback function invoked from read_tree_recursive() returns `READ_TREE_RECURSIVE` for a gitlink entry, the traversal will now continue into the tree connected to the gitlinked commit. It is the responsibility of the callback function to somehow make the gitlinked commit (and corresponding tree/blob) objects available, possibly by inserting the submodule object database as an alternate odb.

Also, all existing callback function has been updated to only return READ_TREE_RECURSIVE for directory entries, so this patch should not introduce any changes to current behavior.
