grep: ignore --recurse-submodules if --no-index is given
Since grep learned to recurse into submodules in 0281e487fd
(grep: optionally recurse into submodules, 2016-12-16),
using --recurse-submodules along with --no-index makes Git
die().
This is unfortunate because if submodule.recurse is set in a user's
~/.gitconfig, invoking `git grep --no-index` either inside or outside
a Git repository results in
fatal: option not supported with --recurse-submodules
Let's allow using these options together, so that setting submodule.recurse
globally does not prevent using `git grep --no-index`.
Using `--recurse-submodules` should not have any effect if `--no-index`
is used inside a repository, as Git will recurse into the checked out
submodule directories just like into regular directories.
