bug#47879: [PATCH] Ignore mode hooks when analysing diffs

This fixes a bug related to log-edit-generate-changelog-from-diff.

When I tried to invoke this command in a commit buffer, the error

     signal: Unmatched bracket or quote

was raised. The reason was that I added paredit-mode to
emacs-lisp-mode-hook, that when invoked calls check-parens. This raises
an error when the diff contains a partial s-expression, which is almost
always the case.

The least invasive approach I could come up with was to defer the mode
hooks. Most hooks should not have any effect on what
diff-add-log-current-defuns is doing, but I'm not sure if there are any
exceptions that I didn't think of.
