[PATCH v2] submodule--helper: fix initialization of warn_if_uninitialized

["Orgad Shaneh via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Orgad Shaneh <orgads@gmail.com>

The .warn_if_uninitialized member was introduced by 48308681
(git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning,
2016-02-29) to submodule_update_clone struct and initialized to
false.  When c9911c93 (submodule--helper: teach update_data more
options, 2022-03-15) moved it to update_data struct, it started
to initialize it to true but this change was not explained in
its log message.

The member is set to true only when pathspec was given, and is
used when a submodule that matched the pathspec is found
uninitialized to give diagnostic message.  "submodule update"
without pathspec is supposed to iterate over all submodules
(i.e. without pathspec limitation) and update only the
initialized submodules, and finding uninitialized submodules
during the iteration is a totally expected and normal thing that
should not be warned.

     -    This field is supposed to be off by default, and it is only enabled when
     -    running `git submodule update <path>`, and path is not initialized.

     -    Commit c9911c9358 changed it to enabled by default. This affects for
     -    example git checkout, which displays the following warning for each
     -    uninitialized submodule:
     -
     -    Submodule path 'sub' not initialized
     -    Maybe you want to use 'update --init'?
