Merge branch 'kn/receive-report-hook' into seen

A new hook 'report' is added to 'git receive-pack', which runs after
reference updates and allows the server to filter or modify the
packet-line status report sent back to the client.

PROC-RECEIVE HOOK
-----------------
This hook is invoked by 'git-receive-pack' when it processes push
requests. It handles refs whose names match the patterns defined by
`receive.procReceiveRefs` and executes the actual ref updates. See
linkgit:githooks[5] for the full protocol description.

RECEIVE-REPORT HOOK
-------------------
This hook is invoked by 'git-receive-pack' after all the ref updates
have been applied but before the report is sent to the client. The hook
receives the complete report in pkt-line format on stdin and its stdout
replaces the report sent to the client. Allowing the hook to rewrite
the outcomes or abort the push completely. See linkgit:githooks[5] for
the full protocol description.

receive-report
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
`git push` and updates references in its repository. It executes on
the repository once after all refs have been updated and after all
accepted ref changes are applied to the repository, but before the
pkt-line encoded status report is sent back to the client.

The hook receives the complete pkt-line encoded status report on
standard input, see linkgit:gitprotocol-pack[5] for details on the
structure. The hook's standard output entirely replaces the report
that is sent to the client. The hook must write a valid pkt-line
encoded report in the same format it received. The hook's stdout is
fully buffered by `receive-pack` before any data is sent to the client,
so the hook's exit status is known before the client receives anything.

There are two distinct ways the hook can affect the push outcome:

* To reject individual ref updates while keeping `receive-pack` alive,
rewrite the corresponding `ok <refname>` lines to
`ng <refname> <reason>` lines in the output and exit with status 0.
The client will then mark those specific refs as rejected while
treating any `ok` refs as successful. The push as a whole is
considered failed if any ref is `ng`, and `git push` will exit with
a non-zero status on the client side.

* To abort the entire push unconditionally, exit with a non-zero
status. In this case the hook's stdout is discarded, `receive-pack`
modifies all references to be rejected with a 'receive-report hook
failed' error.

Any output written to standard error is forwarded to the client over
the sideband channel and will appear as `remote:` lines on clients
using 'git-push(1)', regardless of the hook's exit status. Writing to
standard error alone does not affect the push outcome.

Note that by the time this hook runs, all ref updates have already been
applied to the repository. Neither a non-zero exit nor rewriting refs
to `ng` rolls back any ref changes that were already committed
server-side. The hook can cause the client to perceive the push as
failed, but cannot undo the server-side updates.
