Mitigate Security vulnerability in the git hook feature (#13058)

Browse Source 
* Extend git hook warning in the UI.

Git hooks are a dangerous feature, administrators should be warned before giving
the git hook privilege to users.

* Disable Git hooks by default and add warning.

Git hooks are a dangerous features (see warning text) that should only
be enabled if the administrator was informed about the risk involved.
