auto_explain: Add new GUC, auto_explain.log_extension_options.

The associated value should look like something that could be
part of an EXPLAIN options list, but restricted to EXPLAIN options
added by extensions.

For example, if pg_overexplain is loaded, you could set
auto_explain.log_extension_options = 'DEBUG, RANGE_TABLE'.
You can also specify arguments to these options in the same manner
as normal e.g. 'DEBUG 1, RANGE_TABLE false'.
