Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local
git environment variables before entering submodules. This is normally
a good thing since we want to clear settings such as GIT_WORKTREE and
other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands.
However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to
preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all
configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent
project.
Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be
used to sanitize GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, removing all key/value pairs
except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.
Replace all the calls to clear_local_git_env with a wrapped function
that filters GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS using the new helper and then
restores it to the filtered subset after clearing the rest of the
environment.

The git submodule--helper clone command will fail with a segmentation
fault when given a null url or null path variable. Since these are
required for proper functioning of the submodule--helper clone
subcommand, add checks to prevent running and fail gracefully when
missing.
Update the usage string to reflect the requirement that the --url and
--path "options" are required.

git submodule--helper clone usage stated that paths were added after the
[--] argument. The actual implementation required use of --path argument
and only supports one path at a time. Update the usage string to match
the current implementation.

Extra unused arguments to git submodule--helper clone subcommand were
being silently ignored. Add a check to the argc count after options
handling to ensure that no extra arguments were left on the argv array.

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)

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.
