docs: upgrade: add section on updating git hooks
Commit 39bdf0ab2862 has changed the Git hooks. When upgrading Kallithea to
this commit, but not explicitly reinstalling the Git hooks, pushing to Git
repos will fail.
Add a section to the documentation to explain that a reinstall of the hooks
may be needed, and how to do it.

+ Kallithea does not use hooks on Mercurial repositories. This step is thus
+ not necessary if you only have Mercurial repositories.

+8. Rebuild the Whoosh full-text index
-------------------------------------
It is recommended that you rebuild the Whoosh index after upgrading since
new Whoosh versions can introduce incompatible index changes.
