submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo

A regression has been introduced by a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in
submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28).

The scenario in which it triggers is when one has a repository with a
submodule inside a submodule like this:
superproject/middle_repo/inner_repo

Person A and B have both a clone of it, while Person B is not working
with the inner_repo and thus does not have it initialized in his working
copy.

Now person A introduces a change to the inner_repo and propagates it
through the middle_repo and the superproject.

Once person A pushed the changes and person B wants to fetch them using
"git fetch" at the superproject level, B's git call will return with
error saying:

Could not access submodule 'inner_repo'
Errors during submodule fetch:
         middle_repo

Expectation is that in this case the inner submodule will be recognized
as uninitialized submodule and skipped by the git fetch command.

This used to work correctly before 'a62387b (submodule.c: fetch in
submodules git directory instead of in worktree, 2018-11-28)'.

Starting with a62387b the code wants to evaluate "is_empty_dir()" inside
.git/modules for a directory only existing in the worktree, delivering
then of course wrong return value.

This patch ensures is_empty_dir() is getting the correct path of the
uninitialized submodule by concatenation of the actual worktree and the
name of the uninitialized submodule.

The first attempt to fix this regression, in 1b7ac4e6d4 (submodules:
fix of regression on fetching of non-init subsub-repo, 2020-11-12), by
simply reverting a62387b, resulted in an infinite loop of submodule
fetches in the simpler case of a recursive fetch of a superproject with
uninitialized submodules, and so this commit was reverted in 7091499bc0
(Revert "submodules: fix of regression on fetching of non-init
subsub-repo", 2020-12-02).
To prevent future breakages, also add a regression test for this
scenario.
