Stephen Finucane b72980960e Remove hooks
This extension point was deprecated in 13.0.0 (Mitaka) as it was
unmaintainable. Now, over four years later, it's finally time to remove
them. A combination of notifications, versioned or otherwise, and
dynamic vendordata should be used instead.

Support for hooks has been removed. In previous versions of nova, these
provided a mechanism to extend nova with custom code through a plugin
mechanism. However, they were deprecated in 13.0.0 (Mitaka) as
unmaintainable long-term. `Versioned notifications`__ and `vendordata`__
should be used instead.
For more information, refer to `this thread`__.
