[PATCH v5 10/12] hook: move is_known_hook() to hook.c for wider use

In-Reply-To
<20260326101819.1307742-1-adrian.ratiu@collabora.com>

Move is_known_hook() from builtin/hook.c (static) into hook.c and export it via hook.h so it can be reused.

Make it return bool and the iterator `h` for clarity (iterate hooks).

The next commit will use this to reject hook friendly-names that collide with known event names.
