[GSoC][PATCH v2] grep: fix worktree case in submodules

Running git-grep with --recurse-submodules results in a cached grep for the submodules even when --cached is not used. This makes all modifications in submodules' tracked files be always ignored when grepping. Solve that making git-grep respect the cached option when invoking grep_cache() inside grep_submodule(). Also, add tests to ensure that the desired behavior is performed.

Changes in v2:
- repositioned the '/* ignored */' comment to avoid ambiguity
- joined `git clean` and `git reset` invokations in a single `git
  submodule foreach`.
