Make the update_data_release() function free "displaypath" member when
appropriate. The "displaypath" member is always ours, the "const" on
the "char *" was wrong to begin with.
This leaves a leak of "displaypath" in update_submodule(), which as
we'll see in subsequent commits is harder to deal with than this
trivial fix.

As f178c13fda (Revert "Merge branch 'sb/submodule-core-worktree'",
2018-09-07) was produced shortly before a release, nobody asked for
a regression test to be included. Add a regression test that makes sure
that the invocation of `git submodule update` on old setups doesn't
produce errors as pointed out in f178c13fda.
The place to add such a regression test may look odd in t7412, but
that is the best place as there we setup old style submodule setups
explicitly.

Consider having a submodule 'sub' and a nested submodule at 'sub/nested'.
When nested is already absorbed into sub, but sub is not absorbed into
its superproject, then we need to fixup the gitfile and core.worktree
setting for 'nested' when absorbing 'sub', but we do not need to move
its git dir around.
Previously 'nested's gitfile contained "gitdir: ../.git/modules/nested";
it has to be corrected to "gitdir: ../../.git/modules/sub1/modules/nested".
An alternative I considered to do this work lazily, i.e. when resolving
"../.git/modules/nested", we would notice the ".git" being a gitfile
linking to another path. That seemed to be robuster by design, but harder
to get the implementation right. Maybe we have to do that anyway once we
try to have submodules and worktrees working nicely together, but for now
just produce 'correct' (i.e. direct) pointers.

When a submodule has its git dir inside the working dir, the submodule
support for checkout that we plan to add in a later patch will fail.
Add functionality to migrate the git directory to be absorbed
into the superprojects git directory.
The newly added code in this patch is structured such that other areas of
Git can also make use of it. The code in the submodule--helper is a mere
wrapper and option parser for the function
`absorb_git_dir_into_superproject`, that takes care of embedding the
submodules git directory into the superprojects git dir. That function
makes use of the more abstract function for this use case
`relocate_gitdir`, which can be used by e.g. the worktree code eventually
to move around a git directory.
