test(pre-commit): switch to using `pre-commit`'s built-in file filtering

* only run `yamllint` when relevant files have changed
* avoids having to exclude files/dirs not tracked by Git
  e.g. .kitchen/, .bundle/ etc.
* avoids a `yamllint` bug whereby pillar files under `test/`
  were not checked due to a conflicting `ignore` entry
