Merge branch 'sb/submodule-parallel-fetch'

Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use
it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel.

Rerolled and this seems to be a lot cleaner.  The merge of the
earlier one to 'next' has been reverted.

* sb/submodule-parallel-fetch:
  submodules: allow parallel fetching, add tests and documentation
  fetch_populated_submodules: use new parallel job processing
  run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
  sigchain: add command to pop all common signals
  strbuf: add strbuf_read_once to read without blocking
  xread: poll on non blocking fds
  submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderr

-j::
--jobs=<n>::
Number of parallel children to be used for fetching submodules.
Each will fetch from different submodules, such that fetching many
submodules will be faster. By default submodules will be fetched
one at a time.
--no-recurse-submodules::
Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option).
