[Proposal]: extension indexers

[jcouv]

Extension indexers

• Specification: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/blob/main/proposals/extension-indexers.md
• Discussion: Extension indexers #9855

Summary

We add the ability to declare extension indexers.

static class E
{
  extension(...)
  {
    int this[int i]
    {
      get { ... }
      set { ... }
    }
  }
}

There are also some other extension improvements we should consider (see cut list from C# 14)
