Here is first version of my patch using the @extschema:extensionname@ syntax
you proposed.

This patch includes:
1) Changes to replace references of @extschema:extensionname@ with the
schema of the required extension
2) Documentation for the feature
3) Tests for the feature.

There is one issue I thought about that is not addressed by this.

If an extension is required by another extension and that required extension
schema is referenced in the extension scripts using the
@extschema:extensionname@ syntax, then ideally we should prevent the
required extension from being relocatable.  This would prevent a user from
accidentally moving the required extension, thus breaking the dependent
extensions.

I didn't add that feature cause I wasn't sure if it was overstepping the
bounds of what should be done, or if we leave it up to the user to just know
better.

Thanks,
Regina
