*: Remove hooks

This drops all instances (outside the ChangeLog) turned up by
case-insensitive searches for 'hook'.

The desire to drop hooks has been around for a while now [1], but it
took a while to land a create/start split.  By the time that split did
land, dropping hooks was still part of its motivation [2].  Hooks are
hard to support robustly [3], and after the create/start split,
callers can do whatever they like at those times without having to go
through the runtime [4].  There is still a use-case for folks who
prefer the old all-in-one UX, but we can support those folks with a
higher-level wrapper built on hookless create/start primatives [5].
There was some last-minute discussion of pre-pivot mount propagation
needing pre-start hooks [6], but that use case can be addressed by
manipulating the mounts array [7].  With those arguments in place, the
consensus at today's meeting seemed in favor of removing hooks from
the spec [8].  And after some second-guessing [9], we're now back in
favor of removing hooks from the spec [10].

 #### Application Bundle Builders
 
 Application bundle builders can create a [bundle](bundle.md) directory that includes all of the files required for launching an application as a container.
-The bundle contains an OCI [configuration file](config.md) where the builder can specify host-independent details such as [which executable to launch](config.md#process-configuration) and host-specific settings such as [mount](config.md#mounts) locations, [hook](config.md#hooks) paths, Linux [namespaces](config-linux.md#namespaces) and [cgroups](config-linux.md#control-groups).

 Because the configuration includes host-specific settings, application bundle directories copied between two hosts may require configuration adjustments.
 
-#### Hook Developers
-
-[Hook](config.md#hooks) developers can extend the functionality of an OCI-compliant runtime by hooking into a container's lifecycle with an external application.
-Example use cases include sophisticated network configuration, volume garbage collection, etc.
-
 #### Runtime Developers
 
 Runtime developers can build runtime implementations that run OCI-compliant bundles and container configuration, containing low-level OS and host specific details, on a particular platform.

-## Hooks
-
-Lifecycle hooks allow custom events for different points in a container's runtime.
-Presently there are `Prestart`, `Poststart` and `Poststop`.
-
-* [`Prestart`](#prestart) is a list of hooks to be run before the container process is executed
-* [`Poststart`](#poststart) is a list of hooks to be run immediately after the container process is started
-* [`Poststop`](#poststop) is a list of hooks to be run after the container process exits
-
-Hooks allow one to run code before/after various lifecycle events of the container.
-Hooks MUST be called in the listed order.
-The state of the container is passed to the hooks over stdin, so the hooks could get the information they need to do their work.
-
-Hook paths are absolute and are executed from the host's filesystem in the [runtime namespace][runtime-namespace].
-
-### Prestart
-
-The pre-start hooks are called after the container process is spawned, but before the user supplied command is executed.
-They are called after the container namespaces are created on Linux, so they provide an opportunity to customize the container.
-In Linux, for e.g., the network namespace could be configured in this hook.
-
-If a hook returns a non-zero exit code, then an error including the exit code and the stderr is returned to the caller and the container is torn down.
-
-### Poststart
-
-The post-start hooks are called after the user process is started.
-For example this hook can notify user that real process is spawned.
-
-If a hook returns a non-zero exit code, then an error is logged and the remaining hooks are executed.
-
-### Poststop
-
-The post-stop hooks are called after the container process is stopped.
-Cleanup or debugging could be performed in such a hook.
-If a hook returns a non-zero exit code, then an error is logged and the remaining hooks are executed.
-
-### Example
-
-```json
-    "hooks" : {
-        "prestart": [
-            {
-                "path": "/usr/bin/fix-mounts",
-                "args": ["fix-mounts", "arg1", "arg2"],
-                "env":  [ "key1=value1"]
-            },
-            {
-                "path": "/usr/bin/setup-network"
-            }
-        ],
-        "poststart": [
-            {
-                "path": "/usr/bin/notify-start",
-                "timeout": 5
-            }
-        ],
-        "poststop": [
-            {
-                "path": "/usr/sbin/cleanup.sh",
-                "args": ["cleanup.sh", "-f"]
-            }
-        ]
-    }
-```
-
-`path` is required for a hook.
-`args` and `env` are optional.
-`timeout` is the number of seconds before aborting the hook.
-The semantics are the same as `Path`, `Args` and `Env` in [golang Cmd](https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd).
