submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule

Earlier 33f072f (submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty
directories, 2010-10-08) attempted to fix a bug where "git submodule sync"
command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have
a checkout of the submodule.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never
showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This
caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only
for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the
ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

sync::
Synchronizes submodules' remote URL configuration setting
to the value specified in .gitmodules. This is useful when
to the value specified in .gitmodules. It will only affect those
submodules which already have an url entry in .git/config (that is the
case when they are initialized or freshly added). This is useful when
submodule URLs change upstream and you need to update your local
repositories accordingly.
