Hook fail_fast stops pre-commit if any prior hook fails

[tp832944]

Hook fail_fast says in the documentation that pre-commit will stop if this hook fails, which suggests it is referring only to the present hook. After testing on pre-commit v3.6.2, the actual behaviour appears to be that pre-commit will stop if this or any previous hook fails.

I find the actual behaviour quite useful, as it means we can avoid running a slow hook (e.g. pytest) if any other hook has failed. Thus, my suggestion is to edit the documentation.

this is not the intended behavior, perhaps an oversight in implementation

In which case, I have submitted a bug report instead.
