Merge branch 'sb/submodule-parallel-fetch'

Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use
it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel.

Rerolled and this seems to be a lot cleaner.  The merge of the
earlier one to 'next' has been reverted.

* sb/submodule-parallel-fetch:
  submodules: allow parallel fetching, add tests and documentation
  fetch_populated_submodules: use new parallel job processing
  run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child processor
  sigchain: add command to pop all common signals
  strbuf: add strbuf_read_once to read without blocking
  xread: poll on non blocking fds
  submodule.c: write "Fetching submodule <foo>" to stderr
