Add pre_get_home_url hook for plugins

[technosailor]

We need to allow plugins to "do stuff" in pre_get_home_url. In profiling today, we wrote some code that, if we have this hook, would allow a reduction of computations from x (in our case, 4000) down to 1 using a pseudo-cache technique.

While that code isn't core-worthy, having a hook to allow plugin modification would incredibly enhance the ability to make WP more efficient on scale.

Can we hear more about the use case?

If we were to do this, I'd think we'd do it for all _url() functions.
