Generic Extension Strategy

[samwillis]

Hey, yes we have a few options for doing generic extensions and a few problems to solve to enable them.

So far to enable pl/pgsql we had to statically link the extension to the build. It should be possible to dynamically link extensions but I believe #56 is what cased issues when I tried to enable this.

One thing to consider is that for the main binary to support arbitrary dynamically loaded extensions we would have to disable any dead code elimination, this will make the build larger. I suspect we will have to have a special WASM binary that enables loadable extensions and others that have a few key ones statically likened, and a minimal build too.

Ok, great, I'll keep an eye on this space. And just FYI the extensions would be:

plpgsql_check
pg_net
pg_graphql

these extensions are hander cause then use pgrx develop....
