Later on we want to deprecate the `git submodule init` command and make
it implicit in other submodule commands. As these other commands are
written in C already, we'd need the init functionality in C, too.
The `resolve_relative_url` function is a major part of that init
functionality, so start by porting this function to C.

Maybe tone down the word "major" to "a large and non-trivial function"?
Otherwise, the lack of proof for the claim is irritating. (As we saw,
the savings with the port to C are not breath-taking. But we have to
start somewhere.)

All good suggestions.  Thanks for a low latency review.  Very much
appreciated.
