remove the page on extensions

The docs are primarily for app developers, but extensions are primarily being used for runtimes, and that's what all the examples were for. This commit adds a quick description of extensions to the intro, in order to explain .locale and .debug extensions (which devs will encounter). The page itself has been moved to the wiki at: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Extensions

 An SDK is a runtime that includes the 'devel' parts which are not needed at runtime, such as build and packaging tools, header files, compilers and debuggers. Each application is built against an SDK, which is typically paired with a runtime (this is the runtime that will be used by the application at runtime).
 
+Extensions
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+An extension is an optional add-on for a runtime or application. They are most commonly used to split out translations and debug info from runtimes. For example, ``org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale`` can be added to the ``org.freedesktop.Platform`` runtime in order to enable translations.
