project: fallback to hardlinks with git hooks

Windows requires Administrator access to create symlinks.  We can
mitigate this a bit by falling back to hardlinks as those may be
created by any user on the system.  Do this with the git hooks as
these are supposed to be internal only and people shouldn't be
modifying them.  If they do, they'll have to delink first.  This
seems worth it to allow repo usage without extra privileges.
