Régis Behmo 3ab0dcb9e6 depr: templated hooks
Templated hooks we almost completely useless, so we get rid of them.
This allows us to get rid entirely of hook names and hook indexes, which
makes the whole implementation much simpler. Hook removal (with
`clear_all`) is achieved thanks to weak references.

Contexts are used to track in which parts of the code filters and actions have been
declared. Let's look at an example::
from tutor.core.hooks import contexts
with contexts.enter("c1"):
@filters.add("f1")
def add_stuff_to_filter(...):
...
The fact that our custom filter was added in a certain context allows us to later
remove it. To do so, we write::
from tutor import hooks
filters.clear("f1", context="c1")
For instance, contexts make it easy to disable side-effects by plugins, provided
they were created with a specific context.

Usage::
from tutor.core import hooks
with hooks.contexts.enter("my-context"):
# declare new actions and filters

# Later on, actions and filters that were created within this context can be
# disabled with:
hooks.actions.clear_all(context="my-context")
hooks.filters.clear_all(context="my-context")
This is a context manager that will attach a context name to all hook callbacks
created within its scope. The purpose of contexts is to solve an issue that
is inherent to pluggable hooks: it is difficult to track in which part of the
code each hook callback was created. This makes things hard to debug when a single
hook callback goes wrong. It also makes it impossible to disable some hook callbacks after
they have been created.
We resolve this issue by storing the current contexts in a static list.
Whenever a hook is created, the list of current contexts is copied as a
``contexts`` attribute. This attribute can be later examined, either for
removal or for limiting the set of hook callbacks that should be applied.
