Subject: [PATCH 0/4] submodules: unset core.worktree when no working tree present

v2:
I reworded the commit messages to explain the patches from the ground up
instead of only linking to the old commits, that got reverted.

I disagree with that first stance (I can freely admit those commits happened),
but agree on the second point, so I explained why the code is the best
for the code base now. So I kept those pointers in there, too, to make it
easier for future code archeologists.
v1:
A couple days before the 2.19 release we had a bug report about
broken submodules[1] and reverted[2] the commits leading up to them.
The behavior of said bug fixed itself by taking a different approach[3],
specifically by a weaker enforcement of having `core.worktree` set in a
submodule [4].
The revert [2] was overly broad as we neared the release, such that we wanted
to rather keep the known buggy behavior of always having `core.worktree` set,
rather than figuring out how to fix the new bug of having 'git submodule update'
not working in old style repository setups.
This series re-introduces those reverted patches, with no changes in code,
but with drastically changed commit messages, as those focus on why it is safe
to re-introduce them instead of explaining the desire for the change.
