Here's a basic patch that adds prototypes for the new hooks and converts
some of the form api code.

The following functions need documentation:
hook_form_alter()
hook_form_validate_alter()
hook_form_execute_alter()


Additionally, I've noticed that the following hook documentation needs
to be updated to use the new Forms API for 4.7:
hook_block()
hook_settings()
hook_user()


This isn't meant to be a complete list, just a starting point. Please
add any other hooks you may find.

hook_nodeapi op validate changed, prepare and execute are new. there are
similar hooks I suppose.

*Parameters for form hooks*
I'm assuming that the values all have to be by reference...
hook_form_alter($form_id, &$form_values)
hook_form_validate_alter($form_id, &$form_values)
hook_form_execute_alter($form_id, &$form_values)


*Possible values for $op in hook_nodeapi()*
These are what I've found greping through node.module (I've grouped
them in what appeared to be a logical order to me):
'load', 'insert', 'update', 'delete',
'view', 'rss item',
'prepare', 'validate', 'form',
'update index', 'search result',
'settings', 


Can someone confirm this?
