Dynamic Removal of the Hooks

[yusufcanb]

Use Case

@dgduncan, as a user I want to be able to remove, disable or re-enable hooks. This flexibility allows users to configure mochi on runtime which can be very beneficial on various concepts, such as tenant isolation.

Proposal

mqtt.Server has a public method which allows users to add hooks.

server := mqtt.New(nil)
server.AddHook(new(myCustomHook), ...)

For that, a mqtt.HookBase needs to be embedded into custom hook struct.

// ID returns the ID of the hook.
type myCustomHook struct {
	mqtt.HookBase	
}

func (h *myCustomHook ) ID() string {
	return "my-custom-hook"
}

Since every hook has to implement func (...) ID() string than we could find it's reference in the broker hence a server method like below would be straightforward and self-explanatory for the user.

// RemoveHook removes a hook by it's id.
func (s *Server) RemoveHook(id string) error

@yusufcanb, can you elaborate further on the use-case? Providing an example would be helpful.
