Implications of hapi 9.0.0 for MrHorse

[devinivy]

It looks like hapi is aiming to provide lifecycle hooks on routes: hapijs/hapi#2566. This is wonderful, and will be able to offer performance that is hard to achieve in the form of a plugin due to access to hapi internals. In some ways it's also very validating for MrHorse!

I'm wondering what we think this could mean for the feature-set of MrHorse. If there's a "native" way to add lifecycle hooks per route, the interface/usage/benefits of MrHorse may look quite different in the future! Just wanted to bring this up, and hopefully get some ideas going.

Thanks for the heads up Devin. That's very interesting. If nothing else it could make it more straightforward for us to hook policies up.

So now that hapi v9 is released is this plugin still compatible or are there changes required?

@dlong500 I haven't tested yet, but I believe it should still work just fine. I'll try to verify tonight.

@dlong500 Good news. I did a quick test and there's no problems. MrHorse continues to work normally in Hapi 9 with no adjustments needed.
