Description of changes
This PR replaces the recursive fetch of the package source by non-recursive fetches of the corresponding (sub-)modules. This allows to fully take advantage of the more efficient specialized fetchers, is more robust in presence of network issues, and allows for reusing sub-modules if they don't change between updates. Furthermore, it can be a starting point for reducing code duplication caused by the sub-modules (e.g. 4 times googletest, 3 times abseil or 2 times protobuf - not even counting the possibility of just using available
nixpkgs
packages instead of some of the submodules).Things done
