In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a
standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external
means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event.

For now, the hook commands will run in config order, in series. As
alternate ordering or parallelism is supported in the future, we should
add knobs to use those to the command line as well.

As with the legacy hook implementation, all stdout generated by hook
commands is redirected to stderr. Piping from stdin is not yet
supported.

Legacy hooks (those present in $GITDIR/hooks) are run at the end of the
execution list. For now, there is no way to disable them.

Users may wish to provide hook commands like 'git config
hook.pre-commit.command "~/linter.sh --pre-commit"'. To enable this,
config-defined hooks are run in a shell. (Since hooks in $GITDIR/hooks
can't be specified with included arguments or paths which need expansion
like this, they are run without a shell instead.)

Notes:
    Since v4, updated the docs, and did less local application of single
    quotes. In order for hookdir hooks to run successfully with a space in
    the path, though, they must not be run with 'sh -c'. So we can treat the
    hookdir hooks specially, and warn users via doc about special
    considerations for configured hooks with spaces in their path.

Not true anymore now that we have hook.runHookDir :-)

I learned recently that this may not work the way I expect [1], so you
might want to specifically call this out for someone who knows how
run-command and running-with-shell works.

Same comment (about UNKNOWN and defaulting to WARN instead of YES) as in
one of the previous patches.

I think this is based on run_hook_ve() in run-command.c - could we
refactor that to avoid duplication of code?

I don't think we have function invocations in our declarations like
this. Maybe stick to just using run_hooks_opt_init().

The tests look good.

I think it might be good enough to say "may be prepended" instead - the
quoting advice (wrap your paths) still holds.

Like in the previous patch, I opted to make it match the design doc
(UNKNOWN matches default, aka YES). I left the typo warning, though, as
it might be useful for someone trying to debug why "itneractive" isn't
working as they expect.

Hm. At the end of part II of this series "run_hook_ve()" is deleted
entirely; the implementation of "run_hooks" diverges significantly as
the series progresses (supporting stdin/stdout, etc) so I'd rather not
try to keep one of them based on the other, as I think it'll be more
complicated than it seems in this patch.
