Nobody has commented, so ...

The patch below fixes a couple of edge cases, notably:
- the case where "bindkey" has created an undefined slot in $widgets
- attempting to add a special widget to its own hook list
- a bug when checking whether to alias an existing hookd widget

It also switches from defining the hooks functions in a loop to defining
them with multifuncdef syntax, and updates contrib.yo.
