Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] Add some new hooks so extensions can add details to
 EXPLAIN.

Specifically, add a per-node hook that is called after the per-node
information has been displayed but before we display children, and a
per-query hook that is called after existing query-level information
is printed. This assumes that extension-added information should
always go at the end rather than the beginning or the middle, but
that seems like an acceptable limitation for simplicity. It also
assumes that extensions will only want to add information, not remove
or reformat existing details; those also seem like acceptable
restrictions, at least for now.

If multiple EXPLAIN extensions are used, the order in which any
additional details are printed is likely to depend on the order in
which the modules are loaded. That doesn't seem great; so possibly
we should add some kind of registration interface that also allows
extensions to specify a priority, so that we can print details in
a predictable order. However, that would be less similar to existing
hooks, and perhaps not worth the complexity, so do this for now.
