git: ignore changes to locale submodule
add ignore = dirty to electrum locale submodule so changes to the
locale submodule files don't show up in the main git status.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a Git configuration file (.gitmodules) to hide uncommitted changes inside the translation submodule from the main project's status display. It does not modify Electrum's actual code, wallet logic, network handling, or any user-facing behavior. There is no security relevance.
No security action needed. Treat as a normal repository-maintenance commit.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch adds ignore = dirty to the [submodule "electrum/locale"] section of .gitmodules and adjusts whitespace on the url line. This tells Git to stop reporting tracked-but-modified files inside the locale submodule as changes in the parent repository’s git status. It is a developer convenience change with no effect on runtime behavior, build artifacts, or security boundaries.
