Teknium e19854d893 fix(shell_hooks): parse hooks_auto_accept as strict bool/string, not bool() (#16322)
`_resolve_effective_accept()` used `return bool(cfg_val)` for the
`hooks_auto_accept` config key. In Python, `bool("false")` is `True`,
so a user setting `hooks_auto_accept: "false"` (quoted YAML string)
in `config.yaml` would silently enable auto-approval of every shell
hook, bypassing the consent prompt entirely.

Replace the coercion with the same type-aware parsing already used for
the HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env var three lines above: bool passthrough,
strings checked against {1,true,yes,on} case-insensitively, everything
else (including "false", None, 0, ints) rejected.

Add TestHooksAutoAcceptParsing guarding the regression across all four
value shapes (bool, string-truthy, string-falsy, missing/None).

Reported by @sprmn24 in #16244.

"""Consent-flow tests for the shell-hook allowlist.
Covers the prompt/non-prompt decision tree: TTY vs non-TTY, and the
three accept-hooks channels (--accept-hooks, HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env,
hooks_auto_accept: config key).
