Add tip about general git clone authentication.
The CI_JOB_TOKEN post 8.12 allows the cloning
of any repositories that are accessible by the triggering user.
This was not documented anywhere, and the documentation
was in particular very specific on git submodule dependency management.
This commit adds a tip about cloning arbitrary repository paths.
