[BUG]: Git partial clone is not working for submodules in checkout step #5452

Description

What happened?

The fetchFilter parameter is applied only to the root repository which causes full checkout of large submodules.
It should be also applied to submodules if they are set to true or recursive.
Now the following example does not apply fetchFilter to submodules:

      - checkout: self
        submodules: recursive
        fetchFilter: blob:none

Changes from Handle filter option for treeless or blobless git fetches by jnilau · Pull Request #4693 · microsof… to parse and add --filter option should also be added to azure-pipelines-agent/src/Agent.Plugins/GitCliManager.cs at master · microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent similar to fetchDepth option.
