Git submodules for vendored libraries

[nathanweeks]

For the vendored libraries in libs/, has the use of git submodules been considered for providing an easy mechanism to update dependencies to newer versions & preserve source code provenance?

Public git repositories exist for each project:

• https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc
• https://github.com/ogiroux/atomic_wait
  • I assume this bundled until the relevant C++20 interfaces are broadly available in supported compilers?
• https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate

Hello!
Indeed, we are planning to include these dependencies as submodules. We will schadule it for the next release.

Best,
Adam
