admin: hooks: only flash 'Updated hooks' if there are changes

Clicking 'Save' on the hook administration page currently always renders the
flash message 'Updated hooks' even if nothing was changed.
This may be particularly confusing when the action you intended to do got an
error, e.g. adding a hook that already exists, adding a builtin hook, ...

Instead, compare the old and new value when editing a hook, and only save
and create the flash if they are different.

For this to be work correctly in test, the old value needs to be passed as
well like in the real situation, otherwise the 'zip' operation will return
an empty list.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
