So, I dug into ‘use-package-normalize/:hook’ to see how hard it would be and…
it’s unreasonably hard. Accepting a list of functions in this way is just not
something the code was designed to do in its current form.

So rather than risk breaking lots of things, I think the user just has to
expand:

  :hook (foo a b)
  :hook (foo . (a b))

into

  :hook
  (foo . a)
  (foo . b)
