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 NixOS#5312, NixOS#9842.
