In traitlets 4, only one extension could be loaded with --ext, so:

ipython --ext Cython --ext autoreload

would only actually load autoreload, the last occurrence, silently ignoring Cython. With traitlets 5, this silent failure to activate two extensions has turned into an error (see ipython/traitlets#614).

But this syntax Just Works™ for List traits with traitlets 5, so this PR adds a new extra_extensions plural trait that behaves the same as the existing one, while adding support for specifying multiple extensions if the alias is given multiple times.

For backwards-compatibility, instead of updating in-place, add a new extra_extensions list and point the --ext alias to the new list on traitlets 5 and leave it on the existing extra_extension on traitlets 4.
