pull: Document the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" options

Browse source 
In commits be254a0ea9 and 7dce19d374 the handling of the new fetch options
"--[no-]recurse-submodules" had been added to git-pull.sh. But they were
not documented as the pull options they now are, so let's fix that.

That might be necessary to get the data needed for merging submodule
commits, a feature git learned in 1.7.3. Notice that the result of a
merge will not be checked out in the submodule, "git submodule update"
has to be called afterwards to bring the work tree up to date with the
merge result.
