This adds support for a bunch of core.* settings that affect
diff and status, plus fixes up some incorrect implementations
of those settings from before.  Also, this cleans up the
handling of config settings in the new submodules code and
in the old attrs/ignore code.

When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized.  The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules.  This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
