branch: support more tracking modes when recursing

"git branch --recurse-submodules" does not propagate "--track=inherit"
or "--no-track" to submodules, which causes submodule branches to use
the wrong tracking mode [1]. To fix this, pass the correct options to
the "submodule--helper create-branch" child process and test for it.

While we are refactoring the same code, replace "--track" with the
synonymous, but more consistent-looking "--track=direct" option
(introduced at the same time as "--track=inherit", d3115660b4 (branch:
add flags and config to inherit tracking, 2021-12-20)).

[1] This bug is partially a timing issue: "branch --recurse-submodules"
 was introduced around the same time as "--track=inherit", and even
 though I rebased "branch --recurse-submodules" on top of that, I had
 neglected to support the new tracking mode. Omitting "--no-track"
 was just a plain old mistake, though.
