git-gui: show staged submodules regardless of ignore config

Currently setting submodule.<name>.ignore and/or diff.ignoreSubmodules to
"all" suppresses all output of submodule changes for git-gui. This is
really confusing, as even when the user chooses to record a new commit for
an ignored submodule by adding it manually this change won't show up under
"Staged Changes (Will Commit)".

Fix that by using the '--ignore-submodules=dirty' option for both callers
of "git diff-index --cached" when the underlying git version supports that
option.
