client API: add a first class hook API, and deprecate old API
As it turns out, there are multiple libmpv users who saw a need to
use the hook API. The API is kind of shitty and was never meant to be
actually public (it was mostly a hack for the ytdl script).
Introduce a proper API and deprecate the old one. The old one will
probably continue to work for a few releases, but will be removed
eventually.
There are some slight changes to the old API, but if a user followed
the manual properly, it won't break.
Mostly untested. Appears to work with ytdl_hook.
