[PATCH v2 1/6] submodule--helper: use submodule_from_path in set-{url,branch}

From

Message-ID

In-Reply-To
<20231003185047.2697995-1-heftig@archlinux.org>

The commands need a path to a submodule but treated it as the name when modifying the .gitmodules file, leading to confusion when a submodule's name does not match its path.

Because calling submodule_from_path initializes the submodule cache, we need to manually trigger a reread before syncing, as the cache is missing the config change we just made.

Notes:
    v2 changes:
        - fixed code style
        - replaced potentially unsafe use of `sub->path` with `path`
