Add Hook Interface for Customizable XSD Parsing and Code Generation
- Add TestOnAddContentCoverage to test OnAddContent calls across different type generators - Add TestOnAddContentForAllTypes to verify hook integration with existing fixtures - Create hook-coverage.xsd fixture to exercise SimpleType (list/union/basic), ComplexType, Group, and AttributeGroup generators - These tests cover lines 162, 190, 203, 282, 323, and 351 in genGo.go - Ensures all OnAddContent hook calls are properly tested and can modify generated code

PR Details
This PR introduces am optional plugin system via the Hook interface that allows users to customize the XSD parsing and code generation process without modifying xgen's core logic.
There are 5 interception points:
During XML parsing (parsing.go), the hook intercepts the XML token stream before xgen processes it. Each hook method returns a next boolean - if false, xgen skips that element, allowing custom filtering or preprocessing.
The hook intercepts code generation (genGo.go) at two points:

Motivation and Context
expands functionality w/o major changes to the core code. the hook is optional and all existing code continues to work without modification so there's no changes in the existing functionality
