[PATCH v8 11/15] bugreport: collect list of populated hooks

Occasionally a failure a user is seeing may be related to a specific hook which is being run, perhaps without the user realizing. While the contents of hooks can be sensitive - containing user data or process information specific to the user's organization - simply knowing that a hook is being run at a certain stage can help us to understand whether something is going wrong.

Without a definitive list of hook names within the code, we compile our own list from the documentation. This is likely prone to bitrot. To reduce the amount of code humans need to read, we turn the list into a string_list and iterate over it (as we are calling the same find_hook operation on each string). However, since bugreport should primarily be called by the user, the performance loss from massaging the string seems acceptable.
