implement alloc runner task restart hook

Most allocation hooks don't need to know when a single task within the
allocation is restarted. The check watcher for group services triggers the
alloc runner to restart all tasks, but the alloc runner's `Restart` method
doesn't trigger any of the alloc hooks, including the group service hook. The
result is that after the first time a check triggers a restart, we'll never
restart the tasks of an allocation again.

This commit adds a `RunnerTaskRestartHook` interface so that alloc runner
hooks can act if a task within the alloc is restarted. The only implementation
is in the group service hook, which will force a re-registration of the
alloc's services and fix check restarts.
