Rename hook_ to MODULE_ or EXTENSION_ to identify the part of the function name needing change

Problem/Motivation

For new module developers hooks are a bit confusing to figure out how they work. One helpful bit is when the hooks show _FORM_ID_ or THEME_ the identify the parts of the hook that need to be changed for your module or theme.

Proposed resolution

Id propose making all the hook_ to HOOK_ to promote this visual modifiable part of the identifier throughout core.

Before:
hook_entity_type_alter
After:
HOOK_entity_type_alter
