submodule init: initialize active submodules
Teach `submodule init` to initialize submodules which have been
configured to be active by setting 'submodule.active' with a pathspec.
Now if no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is configured,
`init` will initialize all submodules which have been configured to be
active. If no path arguments are given and 'submodule.active' is not
configured, then `init` will retain the old behavior of initializing all
submodules.
This allows users to record more complex patterns as it saves retyping
them whenever you invoke update.
