Subject: [PATCH] lib/modules: Set submodule type for renamed option sets

For renames like

  mkAliasOptionModule [ "services" "compton" ] [ "services" "picom" ]

where the target is an option set (like services.picom) instead of a single
option (like services.picom.enable), previously the renamed option type
was unset, leading to it being `types.unspecified`.

This changes it to be `types.submodule {}` instead, which makes more
sense.
