submodule API: don't handle SM_..{UNSPECIFIED,COMMAND} in to_string()

Change the submodule_strategy_to_string() function added in
3604242f080 (submodule: port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15) to
really return a "const char *". In the "SM_UPDATE_COMMAND" case it
would return a strbuf_detach().

Furthermore, this function would return NULL on SM_UPDATE_UNSPECIFIED,
so it wasn't safe to xstrdup() its return value in the general case,
or to use it in a sprintf() format as the code removed in the
preceding commit did.

But its callers would never call it with either SM_UPDATE_UNSPECIFIED
or SM_UPDATE_COMMAND. Let's have its behavior reflect how its only
user expects it to behave, and BUG() out on the rest.

By doing this we can also stop needlessly xstrdup()-ing and free()-ing
the memory for the config we're setting. We can instead always use
constant strings. We can also use the *_tmp() variant of
git_config_get_string().

Let's also rename this submodule_strategy_to_string() function to
submodule_update_type_to_string(). Now that it's only tasked with
returning a string version of the "enum submodule_update_type type".
Before it would look at the "command" field in "struct
submodule_update_strategy".
