Credit goes to Emily and Josh for testing and noticing a corner-case
which caused conflicts with existing gitdir configs to silently pass
validation, then fail later in add_submodule() with a cryptic error:
fatal: A git directory for 'nested%2fsub' is found locally with remote(s):
origin /.../trash directory.t7425-submodule-gitdir-path-extension/sub
This change ensures the validation step checks existing gitdirs for
conflicts. We only have to do this for submodules having gitdirs,
because those without submodule.%s.gitdir need to be migrated and
will throw an error earlier in the submodule codepath.
Quoting Josh:
My testing setup has been as follows:
* Using our locally-built Git with our downstream patch of [1] included:
* create a repo "sub"
* create a repo "super"
* In "super":
* mkdir nested
* git submodule add ../sub nested/sub
* Verify that the submodule's gitdir is .git/modules/nested%2fsub
* Using a build of git from upstream `next` plus this series:
* git config set --global extensions.submodulepathconfig true
* git clone --recurse-submodules super super2
* create a repo "nested%2fsub"
* In "super2":
* git submodule add ../nested%2fsub
At this point I'd expect the collision detection / encoding to take
effect, but instead I get the error listed above.

If none of the previous plain-text / encoding / derivation steps work
and case 2.4 is reached, then try a hash of the submodule name to see
if that can be a valid gitdir before giving up and throwing an error.
This is a "last resort" type of measure to avoid conflicts since it
loses the human readability of the gitdir path. This logic will be
reached in rare cases, as can be seen in the test we added.

Add a new check when extension.submodulePathConfig is enabled, to
detect and prevent case-folding filesystem colisions. When this
new check is triggered, a stricter casefolding aware URI encoding
is used to percent-encode uppercase characters.
By using this check/retry mechanism the uppercase encoding is
only applied when necessary, so case-sensitive filesystems are
not affected.

Fix nested filesystem collisions by url-encoding gitdir paths stored
in submodule.%s.gitdir, when extensions.submodulePathConfig is enabled.
Credit goes to Junio and Patrick for coming up with this design: the
encoding is only applied when necessary, to newly added submodules.
Existing modules don't need the encoding because git already errors
out when detecting nested gitdirs before this patch.
This commit adds the basic url-encoding and some tests. Next commits
extend the encode -> validate -> retry loop to fix more conflicts.

Manually running
"git config submodule.<name>.gitdir .git/modules/<name>"
for each submodule can be impractical, so add a migration command to
submodule--helper to automatically create configs for all submodules
as required by extensions.submodulePathConfig.
The command calls create_default_gitdir_config() which validates the
gitdir paths before adding the configs.

Add a new config `init.defaultSubmodulePathConfig` which allows
enabling `extensions.submodulePathConfig` for new submodules by
default (those created via git init or clone).
Important: setting init.defaultSubmodulePathConfig = true does
not globally enable `extensions.submodulePathConfig`. Existing
repositories will still have the extension disabled and will
require migration (for example via git submodule--helper command
added in the next commit).

The idea of this extension is to abstract away the submodule gitdir
path implementation: everyone is expected to use the config and not
worry about how the path is computed internally, either in git or
other implementations.
With this extension enabled, the submodule.<name>.gitdir repo config
becomes the single source of truth for all submodule gitdir paths.
The submodule.<name>.gitdir config is added automatically for all new
submodules when this extension is enabled.
Git will throw an error if the extension is enabled and a config is
missing, advising users how to migrate. Migration is manual for now.
E.g. to add a missing config entry for an existing "foo" module:
git config submodule.foo.gitdir .git/modules/foo
