Install hooks by copying into .git/hooks instead of core.hooksPath

Linking core.hooksPath to the tracked, sandbox-writable .githooks/ let a
sandboxed command rewrite a hook that git commit/push then run unsandboxed.
Copies in .git/hooks can't be changed from the sandbox. This also keeps
existing .git/hooks scripts working and lets npm install succeed outside a
git checkout. pre-merge-commit now names itself in errors; hook tests clean
up, ignore GIT_* env and cover the installer; docs state what each layer
does and doesn't stop.

# Copy the hooks in .githooks/ into git's own hooks directory. They are copied rather than
# enabled with core.hooksPath on purpose: Claude Code's sandbox can't write inside .git/, so
# a sandboxed command can't rewrite the installed hooks, even though git commit and git push
# (and so their hooks) run outside the sandbox. Re-run after changing anything in .githooks/.
