ls-files: optionally recurse into submodules

Allow ls-files to recognize submodules in order to retrieve a list of
files from a repository's submodules.  This is done by forking off a
process to recursively call ls-files on all submodules. Use top-level
--super-prefix option to pass a path to the submodule which it can
use to prepend to output or pathspec matching logic.
