[PATCH v2 0/8] git-submodule.sh: improve parsing of options

When we run "git submodule", the script parses the various options and then invokes "git-submodule--helper". Unlike most builtin git commands which parse short/long options using parse-options.c, the parsing of arguments is completely done within git-submodule.sh; therefore, there are some inconsistencies with the rest of the commands, in particular the parsing of option arguments given to various options.

Improve the handling of option arguments for both long & short options; for example, passing flags such as "--branch=master" or "-j8" now works.

Changes since v1:

- Make variable values always contain the option name.
- Rename a couple of variables in order to improve consistency.
