Add extension support

Description
Very soon (maybe this year) the extension management plugin for Firefox will be broken since the xul plugin support will be gone. During GUADEC we decided on following course of action:
Add support for extensions in gnome-shell insofar that we add a custom uri handler so that gnome-software can be opened by browsing extensions.gnome.org. Gnome-software can then be used to install/uninstall (configure?) extensions. Listing the installed extensions would be useful as well.
Using the uri handler allows us to do without extension browsing in gnome-software, if this is too much work.
I don't know what name for the handler would be best.
