Each submodule that is attempted to be cloned, will be retried once in
case of failure after all other submodules were cloned. This helps to
mitigate ephemeral server failures and increases chances of a reliable
clone of a repo with hundreds of submodules immensely.

This patch doesn't do pointer forbidden magic, also we don't abuse the
prio queue.
The API for running parallel commands isn't quite designed for this
though as we need to pass around an int instead of a pointer, so we wrap
the int into a int*, which will create a xmalloc/free for each submodule.
This replaces the patch [1/2] in the series
"[PATCH 0/2] Dealing with a lot of submodules"
Thanks,
Stefan
