Right now --with-git-submodules=ignore has a subtle difference from just running without a .git directory, in that it does not check that submodule sources actually exist. Move the check for ui/keycodemapdb/README so that it happens even if the user specified --with-git-submodules=ignore, with a customized error message that is more suitable for this situation.
