Create syscache entries for pg_extension
Two syscache identifiers are added for extension names and OIDs.
Shared libraries of extensions might want to invalidate or update their
own caches whenever a CREATE, ALTER or DROP EXTENSION command is run for
their extension (in any backend). Right now this is non-trivial to do
correctly and efficiently, but, if an extension catalog is part of a
syscache, this could simply be done by registering an callback using
CacheRegisterSyscacheCallback for the relevant syscache.
Another case where this is useful is a loaded library where some of its
code paths rely on some objects of the extension to exist; it can be
simpler and more efficient to do an existence check directly on the
extension through the syscache.
