[PATCH] is_submodule_modified(): fix breakage with external GIT_INDEX_FILE

Even when the environment was given for the top-level process, checking in the submodule work tree should use the index file associated with the work tree of the submodule. Do not export it to the environment.

 * This seems to pass all the tests, so I'm inclined to push it out as
   a part of 1.7.0-rc1.  There might be some other enviroment variables
   we shouldn't be leaking out to the submodule environment, but that can
   be spotted and fixed in later patches before the final.
