Download dependencies for submodules

[yorkshire-pudding]

As a site architect
I want to download dependencies for submodules of the modules I download
So that I'm not blocked from enabling them at the same time

As a bee user
I want the bee download check for existing projects (core and contrib) to check against existing submodules as well as the primary modules
So that I'm not told that bee is going to download a project and then be told it can't find it
This has now been fixed by the fix (#383) to #382 - we now check existing projects by scanning all folders.

Note: At present, while the Backdrop Project Browser will download dependencies for the primary projects downloaded, it doesn't currently download dependencies for submodules.

Not sure about this... Let's say I have a basic site and want to setup an XML Sitemap. I install https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/xmlsitemap, but since it comes with a sub-module 'xmlsitemap_i18n' then according to my understanding of this issue, it'll also download 'i18n' as a dependency (https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/xmlsitemap/blob/1.x-1.x/xmlsitemap_i18n/xmlsitemap_i18n.info). This would not be desired if all I want is the basic features of XML Sitemap...

So if this is to go forward, I'd highly recommend making it an option for the appropriate command (e.g. --dl-submodule-dependencies), so that those of us who don't want extra modules downloaded don't get them.

Thanks for that feedback @BWPanda - that's a very good point I hadn't thought of. If I do this (it is currently parked) I will definitely make it optional.
