[PATCH RESEND] git gui: Use git diff --submodule when available

[Jens Lehmann]

Changed the use of submodule summary to diff --submodule because the
implementation in C is much faster than the submodule script. Also a test
has been added to make sure that the underlying git supports the diff
option --submodule (which was introduced in 1.6.6).
