submodule: drop the top-level requirement

Use the new rev-parse --prefix option to process all paths given to the
submodule command, dropping the requirement that it be run from the
top-level of the repository.

Since the interpretation of a relative submodule URL depends on whether
or not "remote.origin.url" is configured, explicitly block relative URLs
in "git submodule add" when not at the top level of the working tree.
