1. allow extensions of the core set of properties …

   Some instruments have important properties beyond the core set
   that have been defined, and we want to be able to extract those
   as well. Added the concept of 'extensions' to both the
   MetadataTranslator and ObservationInfo. This allows instruments
   to define additional instrument-specific properties in their
   appropriate MetadataTranslator, and these get picked up by the
   ObservationInfo.
   
   Unfortunately, extension properties have to get defined in the
   ObservationInfo at runtime (because we don't know what they are
   at compile time), which means we need to use a different scheme
   for making the fields read-only, and there's no clear place to
   hang their docstrings. But this is counteracted by the fact that
   users don't need to choose a specific class to use, or define
   the extensions themselves.
