Support adding hooks at the job level, rather than individual steps

[vito]

e.g.:

name: my-job
plan:
- get: something
- task: run-something
on_failure: {...}
on_success: {...}
ensure: {...}

would be equivalent to:

name: my-job
plan:
- do:
  - get: something
  - task: run-something
  on_failure: {...}
  on_success: {...}
  ensure: {...}

+1. I'd like to be add ensure into do or aggregate blocks (and not directly to each task).

As it turns out, it does what I need to do in concourse 0.76, but the interface only shows ensure block for the last task (yet it works as ensure block for whole do):

      - do:
        - task: create-temp-user
          file: paas-cf/concourse/tasks/create_admin.yml
          config:
            params:
              PREFIX: smoketest-user

        - task: smoke-tests-config
          file: paas-cf/concourse/tasks/smoke-tests-config.ymll

        - task: smoke-tests-run
          file: paas-cf/concourse/tasks/smoke-tests-run.yml
        ensure:
          task: remove-temp-user
          file: paas-cf/concourse/tasks/delete_admin.yml

renders as

but works as ensure for the whole do block:

Also, documentation mentions that you can only do ensure on a step.
EDIT: apparently this happens in 1.1 as well. Created a separate issue #434
