Hello everyone,

v3 addresses all the feedback and requests received in v2, many thanks to all who contributed.

Let's please stop adding features since this is getting rather big again. :) New features can be added in subsequent patches.

This series is mostly for minor cleanups, bug fixes and refactorings + three minor feature additions to git-hook, which resulted from review discussions:

1. The ability to show the config scope (--show-scope).
2. The ability to show which hooks are disabled.
3. The ability reject unknown hook names with "--allow-unknown-hook-name" as
   an escape hatch.
The series is based on the master branch.

Branch pushed GitHub: [1] Successful CI run: [2]

Thanks again, Adrian

Changes in v3:
* New commit: properly initialize strbuf in receive-pack.c (Patrick)
* New commit: add a check which prevents unknown hooks with git-hook(1) (Patrick)
* Removed duplicated function doc comment between .h and .c files (Patrick)
* Extended `git hook list` test to also include a hook from the hookdir (Patrick)
* Converted unsigned int disabled:1 to proper bool (Patrick)
* Minor commit rewording, header sorting, blank line fixes (Patrick)

           * Use CALLOC_ARRAY instead of xcalloc.

         These contain no logic changes, the code behaves the same as before.

         like hook_list_clear(hooks, NULL).

    +    internal state to determine when cleanup is necessary or not
    +    (pass NULL) because each `struct hook` now owns its data_free
