[PATCH] submodule: Alllow staged changes for get_superproject_working_tree

Invoking 'git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree' exits with
    "fatal: BUG: returned path string doesn't match cwd?"

when the superproject has an unmerged entry for the current submodule, instead of displaying the superproject's working tree.

The problem is due to the fact that when a merge of the submodule reference is in progress, "git ls-files --stage —full-name <submodule-relative-path>” returns three seperate entries for the submodule (one for each stage) rather than a single entry; e.g.,

$ git ls-files --stage --full-name submodule-child-test 160000 dbbd2766fa330fa741ea59bb38689fcc2d283ac5 1 submodule-child-test 160000 f174d1dbfe863a59692c3bdae730a36f2a788c51 2 submodule-child-test 160000 e6178f3a58b958543952e12824aa2106d560f21d 3 submodule-child-test

The code in get_superproject_working_tree() expected exactly one entry to be returned; this patch makes it use the first entry if multiple entries are returned.

Test t1500-rev-parse is extended to cover this case.
