When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

I don't usually use submodules, but I happened to be testing something,
and my goto "this has a lot of submodules" repository happens to have
some pretty large submodules. So I had plenty of time to contemplate the
lack of progress reporting. :)
I checked with --jobs, too, and this should do the right thing; it
queues up the progress reports for submodules that aren't the
output_owner, and then dumps them all at once (so the progress meter
will appear to whiz by for those jobs until it catches up to the current
state, which is the only reasonable thing we can do, I think).
I imagine there are other code paths that want similar treatment, but I
didn't look into them. I'd assume "fetch" is one. I'm not sure if we do
parallel checkouts, but that's another potential.
