GitLab forks and submodules

[Matthew Pickering]

I agree with Omer that we shouldn't encourage people to push wip branches
to ghc/ghc. It wastes resources and pollutes the repo with lots of branches
that will invariably not be deleted.

I would rather we use absolute paths in the submodule file as I have spent
far longer than I expected trying to get git to use the right submodule in
the past when operating on forks.
