Part of the motivation for 800eb863 (Hooks supports two directories,
process default and override, 2018-09-17, #1487) was [1]:

But we'd also been disabling hooks completely for rootless users. And
even for root users, the override logic was tricky when folks actually
had content in both directories. For example, if you wanted to
disable a hook from the default directory, you'd have to add a no-op
hook to the override directory.
Also, the previous implementation failed to handle the case where
there hooks defined in the override directory but the default
directory did not exist:

(I'd setup the hook to error out). You can see that it's silenly
ignoring the ENOENT for /usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d and
continuing on to load hooks from /etc/containers/oci/hooks.d.
When it loads the hook, it also logs a warning-level message
suggesting that callers explicitly configure their hook directories.
That will help consumers migrate, so we can drop the implicit hook
directories in some future release. When folks *do* explicitly
configure hook directories (via the newly-public --hooks-dir and
hooks_dir options), we error out if they're missing:
$ podman --hooks-dir /does/not/exist run --rm docker.io/library/alpine echo 'successful container'
error setting up OCI Hooks: open /does/not/exist: no such file or directory
I've dropped the trailing "path" from the old, hidden --hooks-dir-path
and hooks_dir_path because I think "dir(ectory)" is already enough
context for "we expect a path argument". I consider this name change
non-breaking because the old forms were undocumented.
Coming back to rootless users, I've enabled hooks now. I expect they
were previously disabled because users had no way to avoid
/usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d which might contain hooks that
required root permissions. But now rootless users will have to
explicitly configure hook directories, and since their default config
is from ~/.config/containers/libpod.conf, it's a misconfiguration if
it contains hooks_dir entries which point at directories with hooks
that require root access. We error out so they can fix their
libpod.conf.
