submodule update: allow custom command to update submodule working tree

Users can set submodule.$name.update to '!command' which will cause
'command' to be run instead of checkout/merge/rebase. This allows
the user finer-grained control over how the update is done.

The primary motivation for this was interoperability with stgit;
however being able to intercept the submodule update process may
prove useful for integrating with or extending other tools.
