[PATCH v2 1/2] Show submodules as modified when they contain a dirty work tree

[Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de>]

Until now a submodule only then showed up as modified in the supermodule
when the last commit in the submodule differed from the one in the index
or the diffed against commit of the superproject. A dirty work tree
containing new untracked or modified files in a submodule was
undetectable when looking at it from the superproject.

Now git status and git diff (against the work tree) in the superproject
will also display submodules as modified when they contain untracked or
modified files, even if the compared ref matches the HEAD of the
submodule.

Changed since the last version:
- Added missing include (spotted by Junio)
- Made test 7506 more robust (thanks to Nanako)
- When diffing the work tree against a commit in the supermodule the
  submodule did not show up as modified when the refs matched
