Rename Microsoft.Framework.* to Microsoft.Extensions.*

[Eilon]

Need to rename assemblies and namespaces from Microsoft.Framework.* to Microsoft.Extensions.*.

Once the change is committed, please post an issue in the https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/ repo that links back to this issue.

What are they extending?

@pranavkm Microsoft, of course! 😉

TBH, Microsoft.Extensions.* sounds like the same old generic dumping ground as Microsoft.Framework.* 😜

They're extending the platform in new ways for new features (DI, logging, config, etc.).

This seems a little odd.

The previous Microsoft.Framework made a bit more sense, because they are defining Framework items, the core collection of types used as the "framework". I personally don't think Extensions works the same way, because that suggests they are extending something. The reality is they don't, they are the "framework` itself? and Microsoft isn't the framework, or the platform, so how are they extending "Microsoft"?

@Antaris it was a tough choice, but it's the one that we overall liked the most.
