Adrian Ratiu 5c58dbc887 hook: reject unknown hook names in git-hook(1) ...

Teach "git hook run" and "git hook list" to reject hook event names
that are not recognized by Git. This helps catch typos such as
"prereceive" when "pre-receive" was intended, since in 99% of the
cases users want known (already-existing) hook names.

The list of known hooks is derived from the generated hook-list.h
(built from Documentation/githooks.adoc). This is why the Makefile
is updated, so builtin/hook.c depends on hook-list.h. In meson the
header is already a dependency for all builtins, no change required.

The "--allow-unknown-hook-name" flag can be used to bypass this check.
