fix(scripts/githooks): clear all repo-local Git env vars in hooks (#24138)

## Problem

In linked worktrees, Git hooks inherit multiple repo-local environment
variables: `GIT_DIR`, `GIT_COMMON_DIR`, `GIT_INDEX_FILE`, and others.
The
pre-commit and pre-push hooks only unset `GIT_DIR`, leaving the rest in
place.

When `make pre-commit` runs `go build`, Go tries to stamp VCS info by
shelling
out to `git`. With the leftover partial Git environment, `git` exits 128
and
the build fails:

```
error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
    Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.
```

This only happens inside hooks in a linked worktree — running `make
pre-commit`
directly from the terminal works fine because the repo-local vars are
not set.

## Fix

Replace the bare `unset GIT_DIR` in both hooks with a loop that clears
every
variable reported by `git rev-parse --local-env-vars`:

```sh
while IFS= read -r var; do
    unset "$var"
done < <(git rev-parse --local-env-vars)
```

This covers all 15 repo-local variables Git may inject (`GIT_DIR`,
`GIT_COMMON_DIR`, `GIT_INDEX_FILE`, `GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY`, etc.) and is
forward-compatible — if Git adds new local vars in the future, the loop
picks
them up automatically.
