Git fetching: add option to remove submodules (#14370)
Add an optional 'submodules_delete' field to Git versions in Spack
packages that allows them to remove specific submodules.
For example: the nervanagpu submodule has become unavailable for the
PyTorch project (see issue 19457 at
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/). Removing this submodule
allows 0.4.1 to build.
