Research direction

Start with the Submodule documentation at pygit2.org/submodule.html and compare its method listing with the Trees documentation at pygit2.org/objects.html#trees. Document that SubmoduleCollection is a sequence of Submodule instances, including its getitem and iter behavior; done when users can see how to iterate over all submodules.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I spent a few minutes going over https://www.pygit2.org/submodule.html trying to understand how to get all the submodules from a SubmoduleCollection. It turns out that you can just iterate over it. I think it would be good if the documentation mentioned it (perhaps listing __getitem__ and __iter__ in the list of methods, as is the case in https://www.pygit2.org/objects.html#trees).

Thanks!
