The new samba36-hotplug package provides a hotplug.d script for the
"mount" subsystem. It automatically shares every mounted block device.
It works by updating /var/run/config/samba file which:
1) Is read by procd init script
2) Gets wiped on reboot providing a consistent state
3) Can be safely updated without flash wearing or conflicting with user
changes being made in /etc/config/samba

This reverts commit fd569e5e9d.
After an extra review & discussion few concerns were raised regarding
that feature:
1) It reacts to hotplug.d "block" events instead of more accurate (but
currently unavailable) "mount" events.
2) It requires *something* to mount block device before samba hotplug.d
gets fired. Otherwise samba_add_section() will just return.
3) It doesn't reload Samba which some users may expect
4) It operates on /etc/ which is not a right place for autogenerated
ephemeral config.
5) It doesn't include any cleanup for non-existing shares.

Add hotplug handle script for storage devices,
this will add corresponding option in the
/etc/config/samba file automatically.
