[PATCH] doc: remove mentions of .gitmodules !command syntax

From: Petar Vutov <pvutov@imap.cc>

To mitigate CVE-2019-19604, the capability to configure `git submodule update` to execute custom commands was removed in v2.20.2.

The git-submodule documentation still mentions the now-unsupported syntax, which is misleading.

Remove the leftover documentation.
