The doc for 'submodule.recurse' starts with "Specifies if commands
recurse into submodles by default". This is not exactly true of all
commands that have a '--recurse-submodules' option. For example, 'git
pull --recurse-submodules' does not run 'git pull' in each submodule,
but rather runs 'git submodule update --recursive' so that the submodule
working trees after the pull matches the commits recorded in the
superproject.
Clarify that by just saying that it enables '--recurse-submodules'.
Note that the way this setting interacts with 'fetch.recurseSubmodules'
and 'push.recurseSubmodules', which can have other values than true or
false, is already documented since 4da9e99e6e (doc: be more precise on
(fetch|push).recurseSubmodules, 2020-04-06).

Note that `ls-files` is not affected, even though it has a
`--recurse-submodules` option, so list it as an exception too.

Commit 31224cbdc7 ("clone: recursive and reference option triggers
submodule alternates", 2016-08-17) taught Git to support the
configuration options "submodule.alternateLocation" and
"submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" on a superproject.
If "submodule.alternateLocation" is configured to "superproject" on a
superproject, whenever a submodule of that superproject is cloned, it
instead computes the analogous alternate path for that submodule from
$GIT_DIR/objects/info/alternates of the superproject, and references it.
The "submodule.alternateErrorStrategy" option determines what happens
if that alternate cannot be referenced. However, it is not clear that
the clone proceeds as if no alternate was specified when that option is
not set to "die" (as can be seen in the tests in 31224cbdc7). Therefore,
document it accordingly.
