feat(hooks): make template hooks sync.branch aware (bd-8ib)

Update the embedded template hooks (used by bd init) to also check
for sync.branch configuration. This complements the earlier update
to examples/git-hooks/.

Changes:
- templates/hooks/pre-push: Skip uncommitted check when sync.branch set
- templates/hooks/pre-commit: Skip flush/staging when sync.branch set
- Bump version to 0.27.1 for all hooks
- Add sync.branch hooks change to --whats-new
