Hello everyone,

This series enables running hook commands in parallel and is now based on the master branch because all prerequisites have landed.

v6 is just a minor refresh which includes a meson build fix provided by Patrick and fixes a trivial conflict with the master branch for that specific patch.

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

1: https://github.com/10ne1/git/tree/dev/aratiu/parallel-hooks-v6 2: https://github.com/10ne1/git/actions/runs/23974475271

Changes in v6:
* Included the meson.build patch fix supplied by Patrick and added
him as co-author on patch 10 (Patrick)
* Fixed a trivial code conflict on the master branch due to build
scripts having moved into tools/ for the above patch (Adrian)

    @@ Commit message
     
         Make it return bool and the iterator `h` for clarity (iterate hooks).
     
    +    Both meson.build and the Makefile are updated to reflect that the
    +    header is now used by libgit, not the builtin sources.
    +
         The next commit will use this to reject hook friendly-names that
         collide with known event names.
