[CRM-21289] Hook for generating custom external identifiers - CiviCRM Issue Tracker

Details

An external identifier is a code stored in CiviCRM but has meaning in the outside word. Examples are

for contacts external_identifier_
for contribution invoice_number and _creditnote_id

This hook gives extensions the possibility generate custom identifiers.

This feature is a more generic version of CRM-20363 (So that can be marked as a duplicate)
