Summary:                    ExternalProject with empty GIT_SUBMODULES does not
initialize submodules of submodules
Description: 
Current implementation uses the following command to get submodules:

1. `git submodule init`
2. `submodule update --recursive`

This is enough to initialize direct submodules of the repo, however it leaves
submodules of submodules uninitialized.

To address this, [2] (and possibly [1]) must be changed to `submodule update
--recursive --init`

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Add an external project that has submodule which has its own submodule
2. Try to pull sources of this project
3. Check that submodule of submodule was not initialized
