Have REASSIGN OWNED work on extensions, too

Per bug #6593, REASSIGN OWNED fails when the affected role has created
an extension.  Even though the user related to the extension is not
nominally the owner, its OID appears on pg_shdepend and thus causes
problems when the user is to be dropped.

This commit adds code to change the "ownership" of the extension itself,
not of the contained objects.  This is fine because it's currently only
called from REASSIGN OWNED, which would also modify the ownership of the
contained objects.  However, this is not sufficient for a working ALTER
OWNER implementation extension.

Back-patch to 9.1, where extensions were introduced.

Bug #6593 reported by Emiliano Leporati.
