This reimplements the helper function `module_clone` in shell
in C as `clone`. This functionality is needed for converting
`git submodule update` later on, which we want to add threading
to.

This implements the helper `name` in C instead of shell,
yielding a nice performance boost.
Before this patch, I measured a time (best out of three):
$ time ./t7400-submodule-basic.sh >/dev/null
real 0m11.066s
user 0m3.348s
sys 0m8.534s
With this patch applied I measured (also best out of three)
$ time ./t7400-submodule-basic.sh >/dev/null
real 0m10.063s
user 0m3.044s
sys 0m7.487s

Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:
module_list "$@" | {
while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
do
# the actual operation
done
}
Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.
git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.
