hook-list.h: add a generated list of hooks, like config-list.h

Make githooks(5) the source of truth for what hooks git supports, and
punt out early on hooks we don't know about in find_hook(). This
ensures that the documentation and the C code's idea about existing
hooks doesn't diverge.

We still have Perl and Python code running its own hooks, but that'll
be addressed by Emily Shaffer's upcoming "git hook run" command.

This resolves a long-standing TODO item in bugreport.c of there being
no centralized listing of hooks, and fixes a bug with the bugreport
listing only knowing about 1/4 of the p4 hooks. It didn't know about
the recent "reference-transaction" hook either.

We could make the find_hook() function die() or BUG() out if the new
known_hook() returned 0, but let's make it return NULL just as it does
when it can't find a hook of a known type. Making it die() is overly
anal, and unlikely to be what we need in catching stupid typos in the
name of some new hook hardcoded in git.git's sources. By making this
be tolerant of unknown hook names, changes in a later series to make
"git hook run" run arbitrary user-configured hook names will be easier
to implement.

I have not been able to directly test the CMake change being made
here. Since 4c2c38e800 (ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for
vs-build job, 2020-06-26) some of the Windows CI has a hard dependency
on CMake, this change works there, and is to my eyes an obviously
correct use of a pattern established in previous CMake changes,
namely:

 - 061c2240b1 (Introduce CMake support for configuring Git,
    2020-06-12)
 - 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help,
    2020-04-16)
 - 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual
   Studio solution, 2019-07-29)

The LC_ALL=C is needed because at least in my locale the dash ("-") is
ignored for the purposes of sorting, which results in a different
order. I'm not aware of anything in git that has a hard dependency on
the order, but e.g. the bugreport output would end up using whatever
locale was in effect when git was compiled.
