Description:

Hi,
The
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw.html#POSTGRES-FDW-OPTIONS-REMOTE-EXECUTION
section mentions for `extensions` configuration option:
> Functions and operators that are immutable and belong to a listed
extension will be considered shippable to the remote server.

But doesn't mention that extensions' custom data types will be pushed down
as well! I feel it's important and worth mentioning.
I noticed that the lookup_shippable() function in shippable.c file does
mention that:
> Returns true if given object (operator/function/type) is shippable
according to the server options.

Can you please update the official docs to call out about types? Thank you!
:)
