[PATCH 15/17] find_hook: keep our own static buffer

The find_hook function returns the results of git_path, which is a static buffer shared by other path-related calls. Returning such a buffer is slightly dangerous, because it can be overwritten by seemingly unrelated functions. Let's at least keep our _own_ static buffer, so you can only get in trouble by calling find_hook in quick succession, which is less likely to happen and more obvious to notice. While we're at it, let's add some documentation of the function's limitations.
