ci: gate pushes on a gitleaks scan of the outgoing commits

No repo here scanned for committed credentials. The hook is self-contained
rather than delegating to a Makefile, because this repo has none and a hook
reaching into a sibling repo breaks the moment this one is cloned elsewhere.

Scans the outgoing range rather than full history: history carries settled
findings — test fixtures, vendored third-party code — and a gate that fails
on something unfixable gets bypassed within a week.

Setting core.hooksPath means pql init must replant its replication shims into
.githooks, which is why they are gitignored here alongside the tracked
pre-push. Same layout pql itself uses.
