New year, new copyright, new expected unknown issues with various files
that won't be covered by the script and/or will be but shouldn't change.
I'll do the details on Jan 1, but would appreciate this being
preapproved so I can actually get it merged by then.

This PR adds a hook in the compiler and the engine to allow easy prototyping of new features.
In particular by using this hook, one can add a new feature in 1.dev with modifying:
compiler
type checkers (both Haskell and Scala)
archive Protobuf
archive decoder
In addition of development speed, this also adds a bit of confidence, as the peaces enumerated above are not touched when adding the feature: The feature can be added by modifying only 1.dev Daml standard library and Speedy.
aa7991f8 shows a use case of this hook.
