Many commands have flags to recurse into submodules, which is named --recurse-submodules. The diff family also has a submodule recursion flag, but that is named differently. Add a synonym --recurse-submodules, which means the same as the --submodule flag, such that across all git commands supporting submodules we have the --recurse-submodules flag available.
