This adds the --recursive option, an alias of --recurse-submodule, to
git-clone's manual page.

I found this out when a friend told me he could not remember how to
fetch submodules with git-clone, and when another one suggested
`--recurse-submodule'. I checked the man page, and I was surprised to
find out that `--recursive' is not mentionned at all.
I did not modify the synopsis. So, this alias, although shorter than
the "real" option, would still be somewhat hidden in the man page.
