In c8243933c74 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23) we started supporting core.hooksPath in "send-email". It's been reported that on Windows[1] doing this by calling abs_path() results in different canonicalizations of the absolute path.
This wasn't an issue in c8243933c74 itself, but was revealed by my ea7811b37e0 (git-send-email: improve --validate error output, 2021-04-06) when we started emitting the path to the hook, which was previously only internal to git-send-email.perl.
The just-landed 53753a37d09 (t9001-send-email.sh: fix expected absolute paths on Windows, 2021-05-24) narrowly fixed this issue, but I believe we can do better here. We should not be relying on whatever changes Perl's abs_path() makes to the path "rev-parse --git-path hooks" hands to us. Let's instead trust it, and hand it to Perl's system() in git-send-email.perl. It will handle either a relative or absolute path.
So let's revert most of 53753a37d09 and just have "hooks_path" return what we get from "rev-parse" directly without modification. This has the added benefit of making the error message friendlier in the common case, we'll no longer print an absolute path for repository-local hook errors.
