Improve documentation concerning the status.submodulesummary settingbc/submodule-status-ignored
'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git submodule summary" by setting the "status.submodulesummary" config option. But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the "submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented. Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary", "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to better explain these dependencies.
