[PATCH v6 2/5] doc: document --recurse-submodules for reset and restore

[Damien Robert <damien.olivier.robert@gmail.com>]

Also unify the formulation about --no-recurse-submodules for checkout
and switch, which we reuse for restore.

And correct the formulation about submodules' HEAD in read-tree, which
we reuse in reset.
