Marketplace clones fetch only the submodules plugins use

A plugin marketplace is a git repository listing plugins (add-on packages for Claude Code). It can contain submodules, which are other git repositories linked inside it.

When Claude Code clones a marketplace, it now looks at which submodules the plugins actually point to and runs git submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1 on just those, instead of on every submodule. It falls back to fetching every submodule when:

• the list of plugin paths cannot be read
• a linked path is not under real directories
