[PATCH 3/2] batch check whether submodule needs pushing into one call

We run a command for each sha1 change in a submodule. This is unnecessary since we can simply batch all sha1's we want to check into one command. Lets do it so we can speedup the check when many submodule changes are in need of checking.

No problem. While I am at it: Here are actually another two patches that should make life of submodule users easier (push times of big pushes).

In Numbers with the qt5[1] superproject and all submodules initialized. The same --mirror test as before with the git repository:

# Without patch:
book:qt5 hvoigt (5.6)$
rm -rf ~/Downloads/git-test && mkdir ~/Downloads/git-test &&
   (cd ~/Downloads/git-test && git init) &&
   time git push --mirror --recurse-submodules=check ~/Downloads/git-test

Without --recurse-submodules=check

real 0m0.251s user 0m0.218s sys 0m0.082s

# With patch:

Without --recurse-submodules=check

real 0m0.248s user 0m0.216s sys 0m0.080s
