  1. hooks: rewrite so dct initializes from hooks 

    It seems DCS has several bugs where scripts in the .miz might be run by
the client. To fix this remove the requirement to have mission designers
apply the `dct-mission-init.lua` script as a do-script-from-file mission
start trigger. It is expected only servers will have the hooks installed
and so this should avoid the client side issues.

As part of the rewrite the dct hooks dropped support for exporting data
about the server. There are several other third-party server monitoring
tools/hooks out there that provide far greater capability than the dct
hook could provide.

  2. hooks: allow external scripts to control slot enabling 

    Mission designers are layering other scripts on top of DCT. This means
there initialization needs to be completed before players should be
allowed to join slots. To allow for this use case, a well known mission
flag can be used. The DCT hooks script will then use this flag to
determine if hooks are globally enabled or not. Finally a server level
configuration can be set to initially set this flag true/false. With the
default being true so DCT will enable slots as normal as soon as it is
ready.

  3. theater: emit an init complete event to all other scripts 

    DCT is being used as a base for some mission designers and then they are
building on top of DCT by layering on other scripts like MOOSE to
customize their mission. To allow sequencing of these other scripts emit
an init complete event for all event handlers in the DCS mission
environment so that proper sequencing can take place.
