gitk: show staged submodules regardless of ignore configjl/gitk-show-added-submodule-changes

Currently setting submodule.<name>.ignore and/or diff.ignoreSubmodules to
"all" suppresses all output of submodule changes for gitk. 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
"Local changes checked in to index but not committed".

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.
