Before this patch, there are several non-ASCII apostrophes in gitsubmodules.txt, and misconverged at the https://git-scm.com/docs/gitsubmodules/ . To make codes consistent, these non-ASCII apostrophes are replaced with ASCII single quotes. This patch also makes the document readable on the website.
