From: "Claus Schneider(Eficode)" <[email-masked]>

There are tests that rely on "git add <submodule>" also adds it. A --force
is needed with this enhancement hence they are added accordingly in these
tests.

Updated tests:
- t1013-read-tree-submodule.sh ( fixed in: t/lib-submodule-update.sh )
- t7406-submodule-update.sh
- t7508-status.sh
