Inconsistent implementation of login_form hook in SimpleModal Login

This is a repost of this issue:

The wp-login.php file runs the do_action('login_form') hook as the login form 
is being printed. SimpleModal on the other hand builds the login form as a 
variable, runs the login_form action during this process, and then prints the 
entire form later.

Many plugins that hook to do_action('login_form') print output, meaning if used 
with SimpleModal, output will be printed outside of the login form.

A workaround is to unhook functions on login_form and then use the 
simplemodal_login_form filter but it would be much better to have the 
login_form hook act consistently with that in wp-login.php.

I checked in a few minor updates, but still need to get to this...
