Jonathan Tan 4f3e57ef13 submodule--helper: advise on fatal alternate error
When recursively cloning a superproject with some shallow modules
defined in its .gitmodules, then recloning with "--reference=<path>", an
error occurs. For example:

  git clone --recurse-submodules --branch=master -j8 \
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/superproject \
    master
  git clone --recurse-submodules --branch=master -j8 \
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/superproject \
    --reference master master2

fails with:

  fatal: submodule '<snip>' cannot add alternate: reference repository
  '<snip>' is shallow

When a alternate computed from the superproject's alternate cannot be
added, whether in this case or another, advise about configuring the
"submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" configuration option and using
"--reference-if-able" instead of "--reference" when cloning.
