Marker for extension interface

Changes on extension configuration file
Use Protocol as an example, its configuration file 'META-INF/dubbo/com.xxx.Protocol' is changes from:

     com.foo.XxxProtocol
     com.foo.YyyProtocol
 

to key-value pair

     xxx=com.foo.XxxProtocol
     yyy=com.foo.YyyProtocol
 

The reason for this change is:

If there's third party library referenced by static field or by method in extension implementation, its class will fail to initialize if the third party library doesn't exist. In this case, dubbo cannot figure out extension's id therefore cannot be able to map the exception information with the extension, if the previous format is used.

For example:

Fails to load Extension("mina"). When user configure to use mina, dubbo will complain the extension cannot be loaded, instead of reporting which extract extension implementation fails and the extract reason.
