Now that the commitfest crunch is over, I went back and took care of
this loose end.  I ended up passing the output_rel as well for each
step, to save hook users from having to look that up for themselves.
The hook calls are placed immediately before set_cheapest() for each
upper rel, so that all core-built Paths are available for inspection.
