A step towards #4964
This only solves a small part of the problem that currently blocks progress in several plugins.
This PR adds basic support for class instantiation (including via aliases) in plugins. The proposed simple convention is that
get_function_hookis called with the class qualified name.We might also consider falling back to
get_method_hookwith__init__qualified name, if the above returnsNone, and then to__new__.cc: @dgelessus
