fix(git): respect scp-like URL for nested submodules

`parent_remote_url` used to be `&str` before #12244. However, we changed
the type to `Url` and it started failing to parse scp-like URLs since
they are not compliant with WHATWG URL spec.

In this commit, we change it back to `&str` and construct the URL
manually. This should be safe since Cargo already checks if it is a
relative URL for that if branch.
