[PATCH 05/10] hook: replace hook_list_clear() -> string_list_clear_func()

In-Reply-To
<20260309005416.2760030-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>

Replace the custom function with string_list_clear_func() which is a more common pattern for clearing a string_list.

To be able to do this, rework hook_clear() into hook_free(), so it can be passed to string_list_clear_func().

A slight complication is the need to keep a copy of the internal cb data free() pointer, however I think it's worth it since the API becomes cleaner, e.g. no more calls with NULL function args like hook_list_clear(hooks, NULL).
