pull: honor submodule.recurse config option

"git pull" supports a --recurse-submodules option but does not parse the
submodule.recurse configuration item to set the default for that option.
Meanwhile "git fetch" does support submodule.recurse, producing
confusing behavior: when submodule.recurse is enabled, "git pull"
recursively fetches submodules but does not update them after fetch.

Handle submodule.recurse in "git pull" to fix this.
