Add inputs.self.submodules flake attribute

This allows a flake to specify that it needs Git submodules to be
enabled (or disabled, if we ever change the default) on the top-level
flake. This requires the input to be refetched, but since the first
fetch is lazy, this shouldn't be expensive.

Currently the only attribute allowed by `inputs.self` is `submodules`,
but more can be added in the future (e.g. a `lazy` attribute to opt in
to lazy tree behaviour).

Fixes #5312, #9842.
