all src: (please read full commit message): allow local admin-defined hooks

You can now add your own hooks into src/hooks/ and they get propagated
along with the update hook that is present there now.  Please read the
new section in the admin document, and make sure you understand the
security implications of accidentally fiddling with the "update" script.

This also prompted a major rename spree of all the files to be
consistent, etc.  Plus people said that the .sh and .pl suffixes should
be avoided (and I was feeling the same way).  I've also been
inconsistent with that "gl-" prefix, so I cleaned that up, and the 00-
and 99- were also funny animals.

Time to get all this cleaned up before we get 1.0 :)

So these are the changes, in case you're looking at just the commit
message and not the diffstat:

    src/pta-hook.sh -> src/ga-post-update-hook
    src/conf-convert.pl -> src/gl-conf-convert
    src/00-easy-install.sh -> src/gl-easy-install
    src/99-emergency-addkey.sh -> src/gl-emergency-addkey
    src/install.pl -> src/gl-install
    src/update-hook.pl -> src/hooks/update

The "compile" script will keep these files consistent with the config settings

#### custom hooks
If you want to put in your own, custom, hooks every time a new repo is created
by gitolite, put a **tested** hook script in `src/hooks`. As distributed, the
only file there is the `update` hook, but everything (*everything*) in that
directory will get copied to the `hooks/` subdirectory of every *new* repo
created.
In order to push a new or updated hook script to *existing* repos as well,
just run easy install once again; it'll do it to existing repos also.
**VERY IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTE: the `update` hook in `src/hooks` is what
implements all the branch-level permissions in gitolite. If you fiddle with
the hooks directory, please make sure you do not mess with this file
accidentally, or all your fancy per-branch permissions will stop working.**
