read-tree: add "--super-prefix" option, eliminate global

Browse Source 
The "--super-prefix" option to "git" was initially added in [1] for
use with "ls-files"[2], and shortly thereafter "submodule--helper"[3]
and "grep"[4]. It wasn't until [5] that "read-tree" made use of it.

At the time [5] made sense, but since then we've made "ls-files"
recurse in-process in [6], "grep" in [7], and finally
"submodule--helper" in the preceding commits.

Let's also remove it from "read-tree", which allows us to remove the
option to "git" itself.

We can do this because the only remaining user of it is the submodule
API, which will now invoke "read-tree" with its new "--super-prefix"
option. It will only do so when the "submodule_move_head()" function
is called.

That "submodule_move_head()" function was then only invoked by
"read-tree" itself, but now rather than setting an environment
variable to pass "--super-prefix" between cmd_read_tree() we:

- Set a new "super_prefix" in "struct unpack_trees_options". The
  "super_prefixed()" function in "unpack-trees.c" added in [5] will now
  use this, rather than get_super_prefix() looking up the environment
  variable we set earlier in the same process.

- Add the same field to the "struct checkout", which is only needed to
  ferry the "super_prefix" in the "struct unpack_trees_options" all the
  way down to the "entry.c" callers of "submodule_move_head()".

  Those calls which used the super prefix all originated in
  "cmd_read_tree()". The only other caller is the "unlink_entry()"
  caller in "builtin/checkout.c", which now passes a "NULL".
