doc: add proc-receive hook info in 'git-receive-pack.adoc' 

The manpage of git-receive-pack(1) documents hooks invoked when
receiving a push. The manpage does not mention the 'proc-receive' hook
though, which is also invoked as part of that process. Add a paragraph
about this hook to plug that gap.

PROC-RECEIVE HOOK
-----------------
This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. If the server has
set the multi-valued config variable `receive.procReceiveRefs`, and the
commands sent to 'receive-pack' have matching reference names, these
commands will be executed by this hook, instead of by the internal
`execute_commands()` function. This hook is responsible for updating
the relevant references and reporting the results back to 'receive-pack'.
