[PATCH 4/9] t7415: rename to expand scope

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

This script has already expanded beyond its original intent of ".. in submodule names" to include other malicious submodule bits. Let's update the name and description to reflect that, as well as the fact that we'll soon be adding similar tests for other dotfiles (.gitattributes, etc). We'll also renumber it to move it out of the group of submodule-specific tests.
