[PATCHv2 4/6] submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references

Allow the user to pass in multiple references to update_clone. Currently this is only internal API, but once the shell script is replaced by a C version, this is needed.

This fixes an API bug between the shell script and the helper. Currently the helper accepts "--reference" "--reference=foo" as a OPT_STRING whose value happens to be "--reference=foo", and then uses

        if (suc->reference)
                argv_array_push(&child->args, suc->reference)

where suc->reference _is_ "--reference=foo" when invoking the underlying "git clone", it cancels out.

with this change we omit one of the "--reference" arguments when passing references from the shell script to the helper.
