If background fetching is on (which it is by default), we usually run the first background fetch right after opening lazygit, which is nice because it immediately fetches all the stuff that's new. However, when switching to a different repo from within lazygit (either with the recent repos menu or by going into or out of a submodule) we didn't do that, and you'd have to wait for the next regular background fetch to come along. I'm finding myself pressing f in the Files panel to manually fetch after entering a submodule, and I shouldn't have to do that.

This PR makes it so that when you switch repos, we trigger a background fetch immediately (unless the last one for this repo was less than the auto-fetch interval ago, in which case it's unnecessary).
