Subject: [PATCH] ci(hooks-shell): add the busybox awk leg now that #737 landed

#736 deferred the busybox matrix leg until the gsub-replacement escape bug it
exposed was fixed (#733); #737 fixed it, so add the leg. BusyBox awk is the
`awk` applet of the busybox binary, so the PATH shim special-cases it as
`busybox awk "$@"` rather than a standalone /usr/bin path.
