Add support for cloning recursively by URL using Protocol Handler

[jcolladosp]

Hi,
there's a really nice feature in VSCode that allows to clone and open a Git repo by using URIs and Protocol Handler API.
So we can use vscode://vscode.git/clone?url=https://github.com/microsoft/vscode to clone and open the project.

Also there's the option to clone a repository recursiverly from VScode using the command Git: Clone (Recursively)

I think it would be great to put together these two features and allow to clone recursively a git repository from an URL (allowing to pass options in the url).
Something like this: vscode://vscode.git/clone?url=https://github.com/microsoft/vscode&shouldRecurse=true

Thanks!

Hi, we have several submodules in our projects (for languages, styles, etc) and with this feature, we could include a button in the readme to clone the project directly in VSCode, but it is necessary that the clone is recursive to also fetch and download the submodules

Thanks!
