Merge branch 'ao/submodule-wo-gitmodules-checked-out'

The submodule support has been updated to read from the blob at
HEAD:.gitmodules when the .gitmodules file is missing from the
working tree.

* ao/submodule-wo-gitmodules-checked-out:
  t/helper: add test-submodule-nested-repo-config
  submodule: support reading .gitmodules when it's not in the working tree
  submodule: add a helper to check if it is safe to write to .gitmodules
  t7506: clean up .gitmodules properly before setting up new scenario
  submodule: use the 'submodule--helper config' command
  submodule--helper: add a new 'config' subcommand
  t7411: be nicer to future tests and really clean things up
  t7411: merge tests 5 and 6
  submodule: factor out a config_set_in_gitmodules_file_gently function
  submodule: add a print_config_from_gitmodules() helper
