Originally, I had a patch that would replace all usages of
time.Duration in package config with the new config.Duration
types, but:
1. these are all timeouts/retry intervals that have default values.
Most users don't touch them, and if they do, they don't need
day or week units.
2. go-yaml's error reporting for yaml.Unmarshaler is inferior to
built-in types (line numbers are missing, so the error would not have
sufficient context)

* stack-based execution model, documented in documentation
* circbuf for capturing hook output
* built-in hooks for postgres and mysql
* refactor docs, too much info on the jobs page, too difficult
to discover snapshotting & hooks

fixes#74
1. Change config format to support multiple types
of snapshotting modes.
2. Implement a hacky way to support periodic or completely
manual snaphots.
In manual mode, the user has to trigger replication using the wakeup
mechanism after they took snapshots using their own tooling.
As indicated by the comment, a more general solution would be desirable,
but we want to get the release out and 'manual' mode is a feature that
some people requested...
