Title:
  deal with EPIPE from json hooks

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in apt source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Disco:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  json hooks ending with EPIPE on first read fail, but should simply do 
nothing. This causes spurious failures of uninstalled hooks.

  Also, there is a missing error exit, causing errors reported by the
  script to not exit.

  [Test case]
  For the first part, I cannot generate one. This was discovered by snapd ci, 
but I did not find a reproducer yet.

  FWIW, the change should be tiny enough to see that it is not wrong:
  -        if (errno != ECONNRESET)
  +        if (errno != ECONNRESET && errno != EPIPE)
              _error->Error("Could not read response to hello message from hook 
%s: %s", Opts->Value.c_str(), strerror(errno));

  
  The missing error handling is the next lines:
         else if (strstr(line, "error") != nullptr)
         {
           _error->Error("Hook %s reported an error during hello: %s", 
Opts->Value.c_str(), line);                                             
  +        goto out;
         }

  
  that can be checked:

  sudo apt -o AptCli::Hooks::Install::="/usr/bin/printf '{error should
  be json}\n\n' >&3" install

  
  [Regression potential]
  JSON hooks failures with EPIPE are now ignored, so if it fails with EPIPE for 
other reasons than just exiting, I guess we might miss it
