* Find hook method. This method is called during the service find operation

*
* @param context The bundle context of the bundle performing the find
* operation.
* @param name The class name of the services to find or {@code null} to
* find all services.
* @param filter The filter criteria of the services to find or {@code null}
* for no filter criteria.
* @param allServices {@code true} if the find operation is the result of a
* call to
* {@link BundleContext#getAllServiceReferences(String, String)}
* @param references A collection of Service References to be returned as a
* result of the find operation. The implementation of this method
* may remove service references from the collection to prevent the
* references from being returned to the bundle performing the find
* operation. The collection supports all the optional
* {@code Collection} operations except {@code add} and
* {@code addAll}. Attempting to add to the collection will result in
* an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. The collection is not
* synchronized.
