[Suggestion] Libhooker backend about orion HOT 3 CLOSED

Orion has support for batching in backends, which was designed with APIs such as this in mind. In addition, it's actually possible for anybody to create their own backend: see the docs. IMO the best option would be to create a separate framework to provide a libhooker backend (which coolstar or anyone else could do), following which we could consider adding it into the core repo depending on what the demand for it looks like.

@kabiroberai thing is, it's rather difficult as you have to first separate out method hooks from objc hooks, then batch-find symbols, then batch-hook. I would PR it if I could :)

I see; I'd highly recommend checking out FishhookBackend.swift and SubstrateBackend.swift for inspiration. I could give this a shot myself at some point but it's not a top priority rn as I'd like to release a usable MVP first. The most likely path I see towards the inclusion of an LH backend in core Orion is if @coolstar releases one themselves so that we can gauge what adoption is like first.
