build: Add support for shallow-cloning of subdirectories.

* gitsub.sh (func_usage): Document allowed git options with 'git pull'.
(func_pull): Accept GIT_OPTIONS argument.
(pull): Parse git options before complaining about too many arguments.
Pass the git options to func_pull.

 Operations:
 
-gitsub.sh pull [SUBDIR]
+gitsub.sh pull [GIT_OPTIONS] [SUBDIR]
         You should perform this operation after 'git clone ...' and after
         every 'git pull'.
         It brings your checkout in sync with what the other developers of
         your package have committed and pushed.
         If an environment variable <SUBDIR>_SRCDIR is set, with a non-empty
         value, nothing is done for this SUBDIR.
+        Supported GIT_OPTIONS (for expert git users) are:
+          --reference <repository>
+          --depth <depth>
+          --recursive
         If no SUBDIR is specified, the operation applies to all dependencies.
