Add support for hooks

[rejeep]

Possible hooks:

• Before/after start
• Before/after stop
• Before/after restart
• More...

/cc @magnars I think this should be considered when implementing the "match actions" etc...

What do you mean with considered?

I just want the ability to set the process status based on the process output, so I can see when my services are ready, when they are down, and when they're throwing exceptions at me. :-)

Well, I was mostly thinking about the API, since that also is a kind of a hook/event.

It would be nice to turn on compilation-minor-mode on a running process. For example if you had a dev server running and an exception was thrown. Having keybindings to navigate the traceback would be nice. Same goes for a test runner that repeats failing tests and watches for file changes and re-runs the tests.

Your comment is not really related to the issue, right?

[ionrock]

@rejeep Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Turning on compilation-minor-mode would be a nice target to add to a hook when certain processes start. My comment was just a practical example that I specifically wanted to add via a hook.

@ionrock Ahh, I see.
