Subject: [PATCH] hook: accept .enabled and .parallel given without a value

hook.<name>.enabled and hook.<name>.parallel are booleans, and
git-config(1) documents a boolean without a value as true. But
hook_config_lookup_all() rejects every hook.<name>.<key> that has no
value, so "git -c hook.lint.parallel hook run pre-commit" fails with
"missing value for 'hook.lint.parallel'", and so does a bare
"parallel" under [hook "lint"]. The same happens with .enabled, for a
hook as well as for an event.

Keep rejecting a missing value for the other keys. For .enabled and
.parallel, pass it to git_parse_maybe_bool(), which takes it as true.
