dispatch: add fail-* family of hooks

The post-* family of hooks will not run in case a command fails (i.e.
raises an exception). This makes it inconvenient to hook into events
such as doing something in case of a failed push.

We catch all exceptions to run the failure hook. I am not sure if this
is too aggressive, but tests apparently pass.

  ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string representations of
  the python data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS`` is a
  dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their defaults).
  ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. Hook failure is ignored.

``pre-<command>``
  Run before executing the associated command. The contents of the
  command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS``. Parsed command line arguments
  are passed as ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string
  representations of the data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS``
