A recorded hint path to the superproject's gitdir might be added during
'git submodule add', but in some cases - like submodules which were
created before 'git submodule add' learned to record that info - it might
be useful to update the hint. Let's do it during 'git submodule
update', when we already have a handle to the superproject while calling
operations on the submodules.
