submodule: add embed-git-dir functionsb/submodule-intern-gitdir
When a submodule has its git dir inside the working dir, the submodule
support for checkout that we plan to add in a later patch will fail.
Add functionality to migrate the git directory to be embedded
into the superprojects git directory.
