clone: teach --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec
Teach clone --recurse-submodules to optionally take a pathspec argument which describes which submodules should be recursively initialized and cloned. If no pathspec is provided, --recurse-submodules will recursively initialize and clone all submodules by using a default pathspec of ".". In order to construct more complex pathspecs, --recurse-submodules can be given multiple times. This also configures the 'submodule.active' configuration option to be the given pathspec, such that any future invocation of `git submodule update` will keep up with the pathspec. Additionally the switch '--recurse' is removed from the Documentation as well as marked hidden in the options array, to streamline the options for submodules. A simple '--recurse' doesn't convey what is being recursed, e.g. it could mean directories or trees (c.f. ls-tree) In a lot of other commands we already have '--recurse-submodules' to mean recursing into submodules, so advertise this spelling here as the genuine option.
