[PATCH 0/2] devtool: handle nested git repos with submodules

This patch set fixes devtool modify command when a recipe fetches
a git repository with submodules to BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX.
Devtool would parse BB_GIT_DEFAULT_DESTSUFFIX recursively and
attempt a duplicate git submodule add command resulting in a
devtool modify command failure.
The patch fixes that and stops descending once .gitmodules is
detected.
A selftest test case has been added to cover this scenario.

Tests ran:
- devtool.*
