Add support for extensions in a separate directory (PostgreSQL 18) #810

@jakob

Description

@jakob

PostgreSQL 18 adds a search path for extension files. This has two big advantages:

  • it allows us to distribute extensions separately from the rest of PostgreSQL
  • it makes it easier to build your own extesnions

We need to make the following changes:

  • update Postgres.app GUI to configure search paths (extension_control_path and dynamic_library_path) when starting servers
  • patch pgxs makefile to use a default prefix
