[PATCH v2 08/10] hook: introduce hook_config_cache_entry for per-hook data

From

<20260320115211.177351-9-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>
In-Reply-To
<20260320115211.177351-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>

Replace the bare `char *command` util pointer stored in each string_list item with a heap-allocated `struct hook_config_cache_entry` that carries that command string.

This is just a refactoring with no behavior changes, to give the cache entry room to grow, so it can carry the additional hook metadata we'll be adding in the following commits.
