Subject: am doc: add a pointer to relevant hooks

It is not obvious when looking at a new command what hooks will affect
it.  Add a HOOKS section to the git-am(1) page, imitating
git-commit(1), to make it easier for people to discover e.g. the
applypatch-msg hook that can implement a custom subject-mangling
strategy (e.g., removing a "bug #nnnn:" prefix introduced by a bug
tracker).
