Opt out extension discovery

[Gijsreyn]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a user, I want the ability to opt out of extension discovery. The engine always runs the available extension discoveries on each run. Having the ability to opt out of extensions would speed up the process of listening out the available resources.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add a new setting in the dsc.settings.json that holds an array of DSC extension resources to opt out of. This can be the fully qualified name, e.g., Microsoft.Windows.Appx/Discover.

Hi @Gijsreyn - I understand the feature request, but wonder if you had a scenario in mind other than performance related?

That, and servers that don't have the particular extension available. Not sure if the engine skips the extension calls behind the scenes.
