submodule: absorb git dir instead of dying on deinit
Currently, running 'git submodule deinit' on repos where the submodule's '.git' is a directory, aborts with a message that is not exactly user friendly. Let's change this to instead warn the user that the .git/ directory has been absorbed into the superproject. The rest of the deinit function can operate as it already does with new-style submodules. In one test, we used to require "git submodule deinit" to fail even with the "--force" option when the submodule's .git/ directory is not absorbed. Adjust it to expect the operation to pass.
