[PATCH v2] diff -c -p: do not die on submodules

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The combine diff logic knew only about blobs (and their checked-out form in the work tree, either regular files or symlinks), and barfed when fed submodules. This "externalizes" gitlinks in the same way as the normal patch generation codepath does (i.e. "Subproject commit Xxx\n") to fix the issue.

 This is a re-roll of the earlier "[PATCH] Teach gitlinks to combine-diff",
 meant to apply to maint-1.6.0 and later.
