Introduce the notion of a module file extension, which introduces
additional information into a module file at the time it is built that
can then be queried when the module file is read. Module file
extensions are identified by a block name (which must be unique to the
extension) and can write any bitstream records into their own
extension block within the module file. When a module file is loaded,
any extension blocks are matched up with module file extension
readers, that are per-module-file and are given access to the input
bitstream.
Note that module file extensions can only be introduced by
programmatic clients that have access to the CompilerInvocation. There
is only one such extension at the moment, which is used for testing
the module file extension harness. As a future direction, one could
imagine allowing the plugin mechanism to introduce new module file
extensions.
