I had some confusion when following the install/build instructions. I think these changes might improve them. Let me know what you think.

Hi! The project has not submodules now but it had them for a long time. It is not probable (but possible) that it will need again and --recurse-submodules does not throw an error if there are not actual submodules.

Otoh as it is not probable and the instructions are shorter this way, i think we could merge it.

Installation script executes git submodule update --init anyways, right? So, we are still future-proof in a way
