Understand --checkout, --merge and --rebase synonyms for --update={checkout,merge,rebase}, as well as the short options that 'git submodule' itself understands. This removes a difference between the CLI API of "git submodule" and "git submodule--helper", making it easier to make the latter an alias for the former. See 48308681b07 (git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning, 2016-02-29) for the initial addition of --update.
