[PATCH 9/9] builtin/fetch: check for submodule updates for non branch fetches

Gerrit, the code review tool, has a different workflow than our mailing list based approach. Usually users upload changes to a Gerrit server and continuous integration and testing happens by bots. Sometimes however a user wants to checkout a change locally and look at it locally. For this use case, Gerrit offers a command line snippet to copy and paste to your terminal, which looks like

  git fetch https://<host>/gerrit refs/changes/<id> &&
  git checkout FETCH_HEAD

For Gerrit changes that contain changing submodule gitlinks, it would be easy to extend both the fetch and checkout with the '--recurse-submodules' flag, such that this command line snippet would produce the state of a change locally.

However the functionality added in the previous patch, which would ensure that we fetch the objects in the submodule that the gitlink pointed at, only works for remote tracking branches so far, not for FETCH_HEAD.

Make sure that fetching a superproject to its FETCH_HEAD, also respects the existence checks for objects in the submodule recursion.
