Backport of #13052.

Operators inside an if/endif block never had set_hook() called on them, so
_hook retained its default value of TS_HTTP_READ_RESPONSE_HDR_HOOK. When
set-status executed at REMAP_PSEUDO_HOOK time, exec() took the
response-hook branch and called TSHttpHdrStatusSet on a request buffer,
corrupting the header union and crashing.

Fix the operator to check TSHttpHdrTypeGet() at runtime instead of trusting
get_hook(). Removed _hook and get_hook() from operators.

set_hook() becomes is_hook_valid() in Statement and RuleSet to only
validate hook compatibility without mutating _hook.

Upgrade the HTTPHdr::status_set/reason_set asserts to release_assert so
that writing response fields into a request buffer is caught immediately
rather than silently corrupting memory.

Did not cherry-pick cleanly: three master-only refactors not in 10.1.x
touch the same lines (enum class HTTPType in #12249, string_view header
accessors in #12243, and the txn/setter overloads for
TSHttpHdrStatusSet/TSHttpTxnStatusSet in #12484). Resolved using 10.1.x's
existing API surface; the logic change is otherwise identical to master.

Not included: the accompanying autest, since the bundle-style replay.yaml
test infrastructure it relies on (#12648) isn't in 10.1.x.

Verified header_rewrite.so and traffic_server build clean on 10.1.x with
this applied.
