If a user renames the "origin" remote of a submodule, recursive fetching can sometimes fail with an error similar to:

  From git/git/t/trash directory.t5526-fetch-submodules/.
     210db27..1fc7e77  super      -> origin/super
  Fetching submodule submodule
  fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  Errors during submodule fetch:
          submodule

This occurs because of the way that recursive submodule fetch tries to guess the remote name. It will fall back to the origin term even if that remote doesn't exist.

Add a test which sets up this environment and shows the failure. The problem only exists if there are multiple remotes, so add both a test for a single remote and a test for multiple remotes which is marked as test_expect_failure.
