[PATCH v4 00/10] fetch --recurse-submodules: fetch unpopulated submodules

Original cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220210044152.78352-1-chooglen@google.com

This round of patches is now based on master - I prepared the previous rounds on top of gc/branch-recurse-submodules, but now that's merged onto master (and the actual branch for this series, gc/recursive-fetch-with-unused-submodules, is based off master anyway).

This round fixes up the comments from the previous round (thanks everyone!), all of which are fairly small.

= Patch organization
- Patches 1-3 are quality-of-life improvements to the test suite that
  make it easier to write the tests in patch 9.
- Patches 4-6 are preparation for "git fetch" to read .gitmodules from
  the superproject commit in patch 7.
- Patches 7-8 refactor out the logic of "finding which submodules to
  fetch" and "fetching the submodules", making it easier to tell "git
  fetch" to fetch unpopulated submodules.
- Patch 9 teaches "git fetch" to fetch changed, unpopulated submodules
  in addition to populated submodules.
- Patch 10 is an optional bugfix + cleanup of the "git fetch" code that
  removes the last caller of the deprecated "add_submodule_odb()".
= Changes 
== Since v3
- Numerous style fixes + improved comments.
- Fix sed portability issues.
- Fix failing test due to default branch name assumptions.
- Patch 3: change a test so that it no longer depends on state from the
  previous test.
- Patch 9: fix memory leak when recording super_oid and path + add
  explanatory comment.
== Since v2
- Numerous small fixes to the code and commit message (thanks to all who
  helped spot these :))
- In patch 2, use test_cmp + sed to assert on test output, effectively
  reverting the "use grep" approach of v1-2 (see patch 2's description).
- New patch 3: introduce a test helper that creates the expected
  superproject commit (instead of copy-pasting the code over and over).
  - I did not get rid of "git fetch" inside the test helper (as Jonathan
    suggested) though, because that requires a bigger change in the test
    setup, and I think the test helper makes the test straightforward
    enough.
- New patch 8: refactor some shared logic out into fetch_task_create().
  This reduces code duplication between the get_fetch_task_from_*
  functions.
- In patch 9, add additional tests for 'submodules with the same name'.
- In patch 9, handle a bug where a submodule that is unpopulated by "git
  rm" still has "core.worktree" set and cannot be fetched (see patch 9's
  description).
- Remove the "git fetch --update-shallow" patch (I'll try to send it
  separately).
== Since v1
- Numerous style fixes suggested by Jonathan (thanks!)
- In patch 3, don't prematurely read submodules from the superproject
  commit (see:
  <kl6l5yplyat6.fsf@chooglen-macbookpro.roam.corp.google.com>).
- In patch 7, stop using "git checkout" and "! grep" in tests.
- In patch 7, stop doing the "find changed submodules" rev walk
  unconditionally. Instead, continue to check for .gitmodules, but also
  check for submodules in $GIT_DIR/modules.
  - I'm not entirely happy with the helper function name, see "---" for
    details.
- Move "git fetch --update-shallow" bugfix to patch 8.
  - Because the "find changed submodules" rev walk is no longer
    unconditional, this fix is no longer needed for tests to pass.
- Rename fetch_populated_submodules() to fetch_submodules().
