Update extension lookup routines to use the syscache

The following routines are changed to use the syscache entries added for
pg_extension in 490f869d92e5:
- get_extension_oid()
- get_extension_name()
- get_extension_schema()

A catalog scan is costly and could easily lead to a noticeable
performance impact when called once or more per query, so this is going
to be helpful for developers for extension data lookups.
