These submodules were causing failures during recursive git clone operations. The submodule entries were still registered in the git tree even though they were removed from .gitmodules, causing: "fatal: No url found for submodule path 'external/lightning/external/libsodium'" and similar errors for lowdown. This removes both submodule references from the git index to resolve recursive submodule initialization failures (exit code 128). Changelog-None

This breaks BitcoinFuzz CI when updating to the latest Core Lightning commit. The recursive submodule initialization fails with:
git submodule update --init --recursive external/lightningSee: https://github.com/bitcoinfuzz/bitcoinfuzz/actions/runs/18974054866/job/54188726928?pr=314
