maint: add git hook scripts

We find it worthwhile to use consistent commit summary prefixes.
To that end, the commit-msg script requires that all commits I make
start with "$P: " (where $P is one of ~100 programs in coreutils)
or one of a few other words, like gnulib tests maint doc build.
It allows more than one word, so e.g., "cat tail head: " would also
be accepted.  Pádraig Brady wrote the initial version, with its
72-column and blank-if-present second line checks.
The pre-commit script is the same as the git-supplied sample script,
modulo a bug fix and the "exec 1>&2" redirection.
* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: New file.
* scripts/git-hooks/pre-commit: New file.
* scripts/git-hooks/applypatch-msg: New file.  Verbatim from .sample.
* cfg.mk: Exempt two of the new scripts from the no-leading-TABs check,
since they're nearly verbatim from git, and we want to stay in sync.
Exempt the commit-msg script from the no-"fail=0" check.

+# The hook should exit with non-zero status after issuing an

+# To enable this hook, rename this file to "applypatch-msg".
