You're right, WaitEventExtension is better gone. The only thing that
matters is that we want to start computing the IDs assigned to the
custom wait events for extensions with a number higher than the
existing WAIT_EXTENSION to avoid interferences in pg_stat_activity, so
this could be cleaned up as the attached.

The reason why autoprewarm.c does not have a custom wait event
assigned is that it does not make sense there: this would not show up
in pg_stat_activity. I think that we should just switch back to
PG_WAIT_EXTENSION there and call it a day.

I can still clean up that in time for beta1, as in today's time. But
that can wait, as well. Thoughts?
