Currently, scripts/refresh-submodules.sh always refreshes all
submodules, i.e., takes the latest version of all of all of them and
commits it. But sometimes, a committer only wants to refresh a specific
submodule, and doesn't want to deal with the implications of updating
a different one.
As a recent example, for issue #8230, I wanted to update the tools/java
submodule, which included a fix for sstableloader, without updating the
Seastar submodule - which contained completely irrelevant changes.
So in this patch we add the ability to override the default list of
submodules that refresh-submodules.sh uses, with one or more command
line parameters. For example:
scripts/refresh-submodules.sh tools/java
will update only tools/java.
