fetch/pull: Add the 'on-demand' value to the --recurse-submodules option

Browse Source 
Until now the --recurse-submodules option could only be used to either
fetch all populated submodules recursively or to disable recursion
completely. As fetch and pull now by default just fetch those submodules
for which new commits have been fetched in the superproject, a command
line option to enforce that behavior is needed to be able to override
configuration settings.

specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. See
linkgit:git-config[1].
--[no-]recurse-submodules::
This option controls if new commits of all populated submodules should
be fetched too (see linkgit:git-config[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5]).
--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]::
This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of
populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a
boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to
unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to
'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any
value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule
when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
reference.
--no-recurse-submodules::
Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option).
--submodule-prefix=<path>::
Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages
