submodule: fix case-folding gitdir filesystem collisions
Add a new check when extension.submodulePathConfig is enabled, to detect and prevent case-folding filesystem colisions. When this new check is triggered, a stricter casefolding aware URI encoding is used to percent-encode uppercase characters. By using this check/retry mechanism the uppercase encoding is only applied when necessary, so case-sensitive filesystems are not affected.
