Service loader for TemplateExtension

[kyle-winkelman]

Summary

I was curious why the META-INF/services/com.github.tomakehurst.wiremock.extension.ExtensionFactory file is only added to the shadowJar.

I believe there is benefit in only having the TemplateExtension class rather than having both TemplateExtension and StandaloneTemplateExtension. For example, if we always added the service loader the below code would work regardless of if we are using the normal jar or the standalone jar.

@RegisterExtension
static WireMockExtension wm = WireMockExtension.newInstance()
        .options(wireMockConfig().extensionScanningEnabled(true))
        .build();

I need to update the gradle configuration - this one was before there was an explicit gradle plugin for wiremock extensions. If you plan to build a public extension, I suggest to raise the issue in wiremock/gradle-wiremock-extension-plugins as said plugin manages the whole plugin build and release process.

Frankly I can't recall anymore why I had to exclude it but I will check.
