Cover letter [PATCH 0/4] add task handling notifier

With more and more sub-systems/sub-components leaving their footprint in task handling functions, it seems reasonable to add notifiers that these components can use instead of having them all patch themselves directly into core files.

Patch 1 introduces the base definitions and hooks for task creation and deletion.
Patch 2 switches delayacct to make use of the notifier. Patch 3 makes the procevents/connector use the infrastructure and adds additional notifiers needed there.
Patch 4 makes the security keys handling use this, too.
