fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules
Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or "pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check such lines printed. This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check, because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an individual packfile, as it is before this commit).
