[PATCH v9 2/4] submodule: document failure to handle relative superproject origin URLs

From
Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>

This test case documents several cases where handling of relative superproject origin URLs doesn't produce an expected result.

submodule.{sub}.url in the superproject is incorrect in these cases:
  foo
  ./foo
  ./foo/bar
The remote.origin.url of the submodule is incorrect in the above cases
and also when the superproject origin URL is like:
  foo/bar
  ../foo
  ../foo/bar
