While running our CI we noticed that sometimes we see an error
from the new json hooks code. The error message is:
```
E: Could not read response to hello message from hook [ ! -f /usr/bin/snap ] || /usr/bin/snap advise-snap --from-apt 2>/dev/null || true: Broken pipe
```
when purging the snapd package which provides the hook. This indicates
that we should probably also consider EPIPE not an error (just like
we do for ECONNRESET). This PR does exactly this.

JSON hooks might disappear and the common idiom to work around hooks
disappearing is to check for the hook in the shell snippet that is
in the apt.conf file and if it does not exist, do nothing. This caused
APT to fail however, expecting it to acknowledge the handshake.
Ignoring ECONNRESET on handshakes solves the problem.
The error case, and the other error cases also did not stop execution
of the hook, causing more errors to pile up. Fix this by directly going
to the closing part of the code.

This allows third-party package managers like snap or flatpak
to hook in and suggest alternatives if packages could not be
found, for example.
This is still highly experimental and the protocol might change
in future versions.
