From: Pontus Jaensson <pontusja@axis.com>

This patch consists of a Submodule class which inherits from and extends the FetchMethod-class
for retrieving, initializing and updating a submodule directory. The main reason for implementing
it is to make it possible to track the version of a packet with git instead of just a recipe.

The submodule fetcher is used by using the following syntax in the SRC_URI field in the recipe:
SRC_URI = submodule://<PATH TO TOP LEVEL DIRECTORY>;localpath=<NAME OF THE WANTED SUBMODULE>.
Where the submodule-keyword is necessary to use in order to call this specific fetcher.

In the download-method the URI is then parsed and the relevant parts from it are extracted and
used to find information about the module in the .gitmodules-file in the top level git directory.
The final thing that happens in the download-method is that git submodule init & git submodule
update are called and executed at the right location for the specified submodule.

In the unpack-method the empty directory, that is being created during the process but contains no
information, is removed and replaced with a symlink to the directory that contains the actual
source code.

The code has been tested and so far it seems to work fine.
