docs: Update instructions for extension additions for meson
The steps for adding a new extension are clearly different in meson, so update the instructions accordingly. Don't bother with keeping the existing autotools steps - supporting both build systems in parallel is just temporary, autotools is on its way out. Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell-extensions/issues/31

## Creating a New Extension
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new extension, add a subdirectory in extensions.
|
||||
Then create a Makefile.am like the one in example, replacing
|
||||
the EXTENSION_ID with the basename of your extension, which
|
||||
must match the UUID in metadata.json.
|
||||
If you need additional files, add them to EXTENSION_EXTRA.
|
||||
To create a new extension, add a subdirectory in extensions. Then create
|
||||
a meson.build from the provided [template](extensions/meson.build.template).
|
||||
If you need additional sources, add them to extension_sources. Similarily add
|
||||
GSettings schemas to extension_schemas and other files to extension_data.
|
||||
|
||||
Then modify extensions/Makefile.am and configure.ac. It should
|
||||
be pretty self-explanatory.
|
||||
Then modify the [toplevel Meson file](meson.build) to add the new
|
||||
extension name in the appropriate set (that is one of classic_extensions,
|
||||
default_extensions or all_extensions).
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to add any translatable file to po/POTFILES.in, and
|
||||
then you're done.
