The existing Extensions mechanism in Gossip ContactInfo message was not well documented, this PR provides the specification for how it would be able to work in practice. Due to an error in the specification, it could not actually fulfill its role.

This change does not affect consensus, and does not require support by clients beyond copying the original message's bytes.

Who is responsible for this doc anyway? @gregcusack maybe you can task some of your contractors to look at it and make sure it is correct? We clearly do not need 5 specs for gossip which are all wrong.
