git add: do not add files from a submodule

It comes quite as a surprise to an unsuspecting Git user that calling
"git add submodule/file" (which is a mistake, alright) _removes_
the submodule in the index, and adds the file.  Instead, complain loudly.

While at it, be nice when the user said "git add submodule/" which is
most likely the consequence of tab-completion, and stage the submodule,
instead of trying to add the contents of that directory.
