This allows to configure fetching in parallel without having the annoying
command line option.
This moved the responsibility to determine how many parallel processes
to start from builtin/fetch to submodule.c as we need a way to communicate
"The user did not specify the number of parallel processes in the command
line options" in the builtin fetch. The submodule code takes care of
the precedence (CLI > config > default)

I just monkey tested the code and it worked once! The problem with testing
this parallelizing option is that the expected behavior doesn't change
except for being faster. And I don't want to add timing tests to the test
suite because they are unreliable.
Any idea how to test this properly?
This applies on top of sb/submodule-parallel-fetch
Thanks,
Stefan
