fsck: reject submodule.update = !command in .gitmodules

This allows hosting providers to detect whether they are being used
to attack users using malicious 'update = !command' settings in
.gitmodules.

Since ac1fbbd (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from
.gitmodules, 2013-12-02), in normal cases such settings have been
treated as 'update = none', so forbidding them should not produce any
collateral damage to legitimate uses.  A quick search does not reveal
any repositories making use of this construct, either.
