Florian Müllner 76526a9c2d Update README
Over the years the list of extensions has become seriously outdated - a
number of extensions has long been removed, while others have been added.
With the switch to gitlab, the README is displayed prominently, so make
sure the list is accurate again.

GNOME Shell Extensions is a collection of extensions providing additional
and optional functionality to GNOME Shell.
Since GNOME Shell is not API stable, extensions work only against a very
specific version of the shell, usually the same as this package (see
"configure --version"). The extensions in this package are supported by GNOME
and will be updated to reflect future API changes in GNOME Shell.
