This teaches git-submodule to check module.*.path when looking for the
config for a submodule path. If no match is found it falls back to the
current behaviour (module.$path).

I have a feeling that it might be much less troublesome in the
longer term to admit that module.$path was a mistake and support
only one format;

Hmm, what the patch does should match what is described in

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/48879

except that I've kept [module] instead of renaming it to [submodule].
But my wording ("module.$path") might be disconcerting :)

Fwiw: I do admit that the [path "path"] construct was a mistake.
