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.

## 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.
