Diff: teach get_blob_content to show a submodule as text diff_output.c:get_blob_content used to try to read the submodule commit as a blob in the superproject's odb. Of course it cannot find it and errors out with GIT_ENOTFOUND, implcitly terminating the whole diff output. This patch teaches it to create a text that describes the submodule instead. The text looks like: Subproject commit <SHA1>\n which is what git.git does, too.
