extension_control_path
The new GUC extension_control_path specifies a path to look for
extension control files. The default value is $system, which looks in
the compiled-in location, as before.
The path search uses the same code and works in the same way as
dynamic_library_path.
Some use cases of this are: (1) testing extensions during package
builds, (2) installing extensions outside security-restricted
containers like Python.app (on macOS), (3) adding extensions to
PostgreSQL running in a Kubernetes environment using operators such as
CloudNativePG without having to rebuild the base image for each new
extension.
There is also a tweak in Makefile.global so that it is possible to
install extensions using PGXS into an different directory than the
default, using 'make install prefix=/else/where'. This previously
only worked when specifying the subdirectories, like 'make install
datadir=/else/where/share pkglibdir=/else/where/lib', for purely
implementation reasons. (Of course, without the path feature,
installing elsewhere was rarely useful.)
