Doc: minor documentation improvements about extensions.
Document the formerly-undocumented behavior that schema and commentcontrol-file entries for an extension are honored only during initialinstallation, whereas other properties are also honored during updates.While at it, do some copy-editing on the recently-added docs for CREATEEXTENSION ... CASCADE, use links for some formerly vague cross references,and make a couple other minor improvements.Back-patch to 9.6 where CASCADE was added. The other parts of thiscould go further back, but they're probably not important enough tobother.
