For "git status" and the diff family the submodule.*.ignore settings from
.git/config and .gitmodules can be used to override the default set via
diff.ignoreSubmodules on a per-submodule basis. Let's do this consistently
and teach checkout to use these settings too.

While at it, document that checkout uses this flag too in the Documentation.

While 'git checkout <submodule>' should not update the submodule's
working directory, it should update the index. This is in line with
how submodules are handled in the rest of Git.
While at it, test 'git reset [<commit>] <submodule>', too.
