In cases when a submodule fetch fails when there are many submodules, the error
from the lone failing submodule fetch is buried under activity on the other
submodules if more than one fetch fell back on fetch-by-oid. Call out a failure
late so the user is aware that something went wrong, and where.

Because fetch_finish() is only called synchronously by
run_processes_parallel, mutexing is not required around
submodules_with_errors.

Since v2, removed mutexing as run_processes_parallel() creates
subprocesses, not threads, and is in fact synchronous. Also added
translation marker for the error message.

Excellent. For Git for Windows' ever-green branch based on `pu`, I had to
introduce this:

-- snip --
Subject: [PATCH] fixup??? fetch: emphasize failure during submodule fetch

This would be the first user of `PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER`, but as we
have a hard time to emulate this with critical sections in Windows,
let's not do that.

I look forward to v3 hitting `pu` and making this change obsolete.

Thanks,
