git-submodule: give submodules proper names

This changes the way git-submodule uses .gitmodules: Subsections no longer
specify the submodule path, they now specify the submodule name. The
submodule path is found under the new key "submodule.<name>.path", which is
a required key.

With this change a submodule can be moved between different 'checkout paths'
without upsetting git-submodule.
