pull: Document the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" options
In commits be254a0ea9 and 7dce19d374 the handling of the new fetch options "--[no-]recurse-submodules" had been added to git-pull.sh. But they were not documented as the pull options they now are, so let's fix that. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

--verbose::
Pass --verbose to git-fetch and git-merge.
+--[no-]recurse-submodules::
+ This option controls if new commits of all populated submodules should
+ be fetched too (see linkgit:git-config[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5]).
+ That might be necessary to get the data needed for merging submodule
+ commits, a feature git learned in 1.7.3. Notice that the result of a
+ merge will not be checked out in the submodule, "git submodule update"
+ has to be called afterwards to bring the work tree up to date with the
+ merge result.
