repo: add path.hooks with absolute and relative suffixes 

Hooks are an integral part of a repository's configuration and are
commonly used by tooling to automate repository-specific workflows.
Currently, scripts typically retrieve the hooks directory by invoking
`git rev-parse --git-path hooks`.

Introduce `path.hooks.absolute` and `path.hooks.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This exposes the hooks directory as a scriptable
config-like key using standard format rules, allowing scripts to
retrieve it through the same interface as other repository path
information.
