add hook side-effects; closes #86

hooks can now interrupt or redirect actions, and initiate
related actions, by printing json on stdout with commands

mainly to mitigate limitations such as sharex/sharex#3992

xbr/xau can redirect uploads to other destinations with `reloc`
and most hooks can initiate indexing or deletion of additional
files by giving a list of vpaths in json-keys `idx` or `del`

there are limitations;
* xbu/xau effects don't apply to ftp, tftp, smb
* xau will intentionally fail if a reloc destination exists
* xau effects do not apply to up2k

also provides more details for hooks:
* xbu/xau: basic-uploader vpath with filename
* xbr/xar: add client ip

# event hooks
on writing your own [hooks](../README.md#event-hooks)
## hook effects
hooks can cause intentional side-effects, such as redirecting an upload into another location, or creating+indexing additional files, or deleting existing files, by returning json on stdout
* `reloc` can redirect uploads before/after uploading has finished, based on filename, extension, file contents, uploader ip/name etc.
* `idx` informs copyparty about a new file to index as a consequence of this upload
* `del` tells copyparty to delete an unrelated file by vpath
for these to take effect, the hook must be defined with the `c1` flag; see example [reloc-by-ext](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/bin/hooks/reloc-by-ext.py)
a subset of effect types are available for a subset of hook types,
* most hook types (xbu/xau/xbr/xar/xbd/xad/xm) support `idx` and `del` for all http protocols (up2k / basic-uploader / webdav), but not ftp/tftp/smb
* most hook types will abort/reject the action if the hook returns nonzero, assuming flag `c` is given, see examples [reject-extension](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/bin/hooks/reject-extension.py) and [reject-mimetype](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/bin/hooks/reject-mimetype.py)
* `xbu` supports `reloc` for all http protocols (up2k / basic-uploader / webdav), but not ftp/tftp/smb
* `xau` supports `reloc` for basic-uploader / webdav only, not up2k or ftp/tftp/smb
* so clients like sharex are supported, but not dragdrop into browser
to trigger indexing of files `/foo/1.txt` and `/foo/bar/2.txt`, a hook can `print(json.dumps({"idx":{"vp":["/foo/1.txt","/foo/bar/2.txt"]}}))` (and replace "idx" with "del" to delete instead)
* note: paths starting with `/` are absolute URLs, but you can also do `../3.txt` relative to the destination folder of each uploaded file
