Fix the origin URL used for fetching submodules

We cannot use 'actualUrl', because for file:// repos that's not the
original URL that the repo was fetched from. This is a problem since
submodules may be relative to the original URL.

Fixes e.g.

  nix eval --impure --json --expr 'builtins.fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "/path/to/blender"; submodules = true; }'

where /path/to/blender is a clone of
https://github.com/blender/blender.git (which has several relative
submodules like '../blender-addons.git').
