This PR fixes #108381 by adding a new command, Git: Clone Recursively, that adds the
--recursive option to git clone in order to also check out git
submodules.
To test, open the command menu (Ctrl or Cmd + P) and type in "> Git: Clone Recursively".
When it asks for the repository URL, you can use the GitHub project I created to test this feature:
https://github.com/baylesj/submodule-example.git
The command should behave the same as "Git: Clone" but it will also check out the submodules. I tested both locally and they behaved as expected.
NOTE: I was unable to find any unit testing for the Command menu, so this was only verified manually.
