externalsrc: git submodule--helper list unsupported

Git has removed support for "git submodule--helper list".
https://github.com/git/git/commit/31955475d1c283120d5d84247eb3fd55d9f5fdd9

This change provides an alternate method for gathering the submodules
information.

Tested:
Build recipes with and without submodules
