[PATCH v5 06/15] submodule--helper: die on config error when cloning module

From

When setting the 'core.worktree' option for a newly cloned submodule we ignore the return value of `git_config_set_in_file`. As this leaves the submodule in an inconsistent state, we instead want to inform the user that something has gone wrong by printing an error and aborting the program.
