[development] Convention for naming contrib hooks?

[Dave Reid]

Not all hooks are invoked by module_invoke or module_invoke_all. They can
also be called manually with module_implements or by drupal_alter().
http://drupalcontrib.org/api/search/6/hook_ seems to display several pages
of contrib module hooks (once the functions begin with 'hook_').
