[PATCH v2] fetch: emphasize failure during submodule fetch

In cases when a submodule fetch fails when there are many submodules, the error from the lone failing submodule fetch is buried under activity on the other submodules if more than one fetch fell back on fetch-by-oid. Call out a failure late so the user is aware that something went wrong, and where.

V1's approach was to show a generic error based on the output status of
fetch_populated_submodules(); with a long set of submodules, this is
only marginally better than showing the error inline. For v2, instead
we're gathering a list of submodules which failed during the parallel
processing.

The contents of stderr at the time fetch_finish() is called is not available to us; 'err' on the input is for providing output only. So, gather the submodule name only.
