If going back in time in git history, across a commit that introduces a new
submodule, the 'git-submodule.sh' script will fail, causing rebuild to fail.
This is because config-host.mak contains a GIT_SUBMODULES variable that lists
a submodule that only exists in the later commit. config-host.mak won't get
repopulated until config.status is invoked, but make won't get this far due to
the submodule error.
This change makes 'git-submodule.sh' check whether each module is known to git
and drops any which are not present. A warning message will be printed when any
submodule is dropped in this manner.
