[Sidnioulz]

What I did

Removes submodules that Jeppe committed accidentally. Those caused warnings in the cleanup step of our github/checkout actions, and the warnings now turn into errors with checkout v6.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR disables recursive submodule checkout in the Danger JS GitHub Actions workflow and updates git submodule pointer references in .rollout-repos/. The workflow no longer passes submodules: true to actions/checkout, and multiple submodule gitlink entries are either removed or updated to reference different commits.
