The .gitmodules file is not meant as a place to store arbitrary
configuration to distribute with the repository.
Move config_from_gitmodules() out of config.c and into
submodule-config.c to make it even clearer that it is not a mechanism to
retrieve arbitrary configuration from the .gitmodules file.
