I started by trying to change the current infrastructure, but this is
really the only completely sync hook which makes sense; it needs to avoid
doing the db_transation, as well as waiting, and using a callback is just
overkill.
So with some regret, I open coded it.

This is the first use of the `hooks` autodata field, and it required a
dummy element in order for the section not to be dropped, it'll be
removed once we have actual hooks.
I might have gone a bit overboard with the type-checking, but
typesafe_cb_cast is quite nice to use, so why not. The macro to
register a new hook encapsulates the entire flow from param
serialization, to dispatch, parsing and callback dispatch in one
bundle. I was tempted to have the callback outside of the
registration, but it's unlikely that we'll have two calls to the same
hook with different callbacks.
