Add git submodule path support

Fábio Matavelli requested to merge fabiomatavelli/gitlab-runner:feat-submodules-path into master

What does this MR do?

Add support to git submodule paths.

Why was this MR needed?

In projects with a lot of submodules, it may be needed to avoid load certain submodules in certain jobs. For example, you can set the variable like this:

GIT_SUBMODULE_PATH=":(exclude)submoduleXYZ"

It will avoid the sync/fetch/clone of the submoduleXYZ, or:

GIT_SUBMODULE_PATH="submoduleABC"

Will only sync/fetch/clone the submoduleABC.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

  • Documentation created/updated
  • Added tests for this feature/bug
