[PATCH v2 13/13] submodule--helper update-clone: check for --filter and --init

"git submodule update --filter" also requires the "--init" option. Teach update-clone to do this usage check in C and remove the check from git-submodule.sh.

In addition, change update-clone's usage string so that it teaches users about "git submodule update" instead of "git submodule--helper update-clone" (the string is copied from git-submodule.sh). This should be more helpful to users since they don't invoke update-clone directly.

Since we expect users to act upon the usage string, I've updated it to
reflect "git submodule update" [1] (since that's what users actually
invoke), but I feel a bit iffy about not being able to use
usage_with_options() (because the options and usage string are for
different commands).

This might indicate that this is work we should put off until the conversion to C is mostly complete, but on the other hand, the usage string is still more helpful than it used to be because we never presented users with the options anyway.

[1] It's not immediately obvious which command we prefer to show - some other commands use "git submodule--helper" and others use "git submodule".
