Many functions take an argv/argc pair, but never actually look at argc.
This makes it useless at best (we use the NULL sentinel in argv to find
the end of the array), and misleading at worst (what happens if the argc
count does not match the argv NULL?).
In each of these instances, the argv NULL does match the argc count, so
there are no bugs here. But let's tighten the interfaces to make it
harder to get wrong (and to reduce some -Wunused-parameter complaints).

When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision
of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index,
it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that
situation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the
repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead.
The submodule struct can be obtained via submodule_from_{path, name} or
an artificial submodule struct can be passed in.
While we are at it, rename the repository struct in the repo_submodule_init
function, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with
the struct submodule as easily. Perform such renames in similar functions
as well.
Also move its documentation into the header file.

Add a test tool to exercise config_from_gitmodules(), in particular for
the case of nested submodules.
Add also a test to document that reading the submoudles config of nested
submodules does not work yet when the .gitmodules file is not in the
working tree but it still in the index.
This is because the git API does not always make it possible access the
object store of an arbitrary repository (see get_oid() usage in
config_from_gitmodules()).
When this git limitation gets fixed the aforementioned use case will be
supported too.
