[PATCH v5 1/3] sumodule--helper: fix submodule--helper clone usage and check argc count

[Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>]

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@gmail.com>

git submodule--helper clone usage specified that paths come after the --
as a sequence. However, the actual implementation does not, and requires
only a single path passed in via --path. In addition, argc was
unchecked. (allowing arbitrary extra arguments that were silently
ignored).

Fix the usage description to match implementation. Add an argc check to
enforce no extra arguments. Fix a bug in the argument passing in
git-submodule.sh which would pass --reference and --depth as empty
strings when they were unused, resulting in extra argc after parsing
options.
