This commit adds a new pre-commit hook called check-copies to the binutils-gdb repository. The hook is designed to prevent errors that arise from maintaining identical files manually, which is prone to mistakes. It ensures that files intended to be copies are indeed exact copies and that no unintended files are treated as copies. The testsuite is excluded from this check to avoid complications with its specific file management practices.
