fsck: reject submodule.update = !command in .gitmodules
This allows hosting providers to detect whether they are being used to attack users using malicious 'update = !command' settings in .gitmodules. Since ac1fbbda2013 (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02), in normal cases such settings have been treated as 'update = none', so forbidding them should not produce any collateral damage to legitimate uses. A quick search does not reveal any repositories making use of this construct, either.
