msubprojects: wrap-file should be re-extracted with --reset
When using --reset we should guarantee that next reconfigure will pick
the latest code. For wrap-file we have no way to know if the revision
changed, so we have to delete the source tree and extract again.
It is unlikely that user has local changes in non-git subprojects, and
--reset is known to be dangerous.
