This series of patch covers mainly two areas
1. The bug report where after submodule was moved and the path remained same
   when a new submodule was added then it directly was overwriting the 
   moved submodule as the present submodule since the path matched.
2. The configure_added_submodule was writing submodule.<name>.active
   entry, even when the new path is already matched by submodule.active
   patterns.
Below is a helper function and 2 new tests with fixes of the above problem.

  submodule: prevent overwriting .gitmodules entry on path reuse
  submodule: skip redundant active entries when pattern covers path
