submodule: extract path to submodule gitdir func
We currently store each submodule gitdir in ".git/modules/<name>", but this has problems with some submodule naming schemes, as described in a comment in submodule_name_to_gitdir() in this patch. Extract the determination of the location of a submodule's gitdir into its own function submodule_name_to_gitdir(). For now, the problem remains unsolved, but this puts us in a better position for finding a solution. This was motivated, at $DAYJOB, by a part of Android's repo hierarchy [1]. In particular, there is a repo "build", and several repos of the form "build/<name>". This is based on earlier work by Brandon Williams [2].
