[PATCH 1/4] git-prompt.sh: add submodule indicator

[Benjamin Fuchs <email@benjaminfuchs.de>]

I expirienced that working with submodules can be confusing. This indicator
will make you notice very easy when you switch into a submodule.
The new prompt will look like this: (sub:master)
Adding a new optional env variable for the new feature.
