[PATCH 0/7] Finish converting "submodule update" to C

[Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>]

Original series: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220210092833.55360-1-chooglen@google.com
"git submodule update" in C part 1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220301000816.56177-1-chooglen@google.com/
Based off 'gc/submodule-update-part-1'.

= Overview

This is part 2 of 2 series that supersedes ar/submodule-update. This
finishes the conversion of "git submodule update" to C by:

- combining the constituent "git submodule--helper" commands
  ("update-clone" and "run-update-procedure") to create "git
  submodule--helper update"
- converting the --recursive flag to C by teaching "git
  submodule--helper update" to invoke itself

This also fixes a test failure that Junio noted in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqr18770pc.fsf@gitster.g (see patch 6 for
more details).

= Known conflicts

This series is missing some functionality introduced in the in-flight
es/superproject-aware-submodules [1], namely, that "git submodule
update" sets `submodule.hasSuperproject` on all submodules. I intended
for this to go _after_ es/superproject-aware-submodules, and in that
series, Emily and I tried to simplify this conflict by preemptively
doing this in C (see that series' v9 cover letter [1]).

That discussion is still ongoing, but it seems helpful to send this
series anyway (thanks to all who weighed in over IRC [2]). At any rate,
neither series really depends on the other, so this series is still
independently reviewable, but with the caveat that I may add another
patch that adds the missing behavior (it will probably look something
like [3]).

Alternatively, this series might graduate first. In which case, I'll
continue working with Emily to fix the conflict.

= Patch organization

This series largely follows the remaining ar/submodule-update patches
that weren't included in part 1 and some additional clean ups. One
notable difference vis-a-vis ar/submodule-update is that the CLI args
for "update-clone" are no longer copied across structs (see patch 4 for
more details).

- Patches 1-2 teaches "run-update-procedure" to exit and report its
  failures in a more idiomatic manner instead of relying on
  git-submodule.sh.
- Patches 3-4 prepare for "run-update-procedure" and
  "update-clone"'s args to be merged into a single struct.
- Patches 5-6 finish the process of implementing `submodule--helper
  update`.
- Patch 7 cleans up a forward declaration that kept the diffs small
  while we were in the process of conversion, but is no longer needed.
