improve extension API and resolve all remaining open questions

- settled on the name "Build Compatible Extensions"
- renamed `@Processing` to `@Registration`, because if we ever want
  to introduce an extension phase for modifying beans before they
  are registered, _that_ should be called `@Processing`
- moved the synthetic bean creation/destruction functions from
  the `CreationalContext` style to the `Instance` style
- specified precisely how `ClassInfo.methods` and `fields` work,
  specified that `ClassConfig` behaves identically, and specified
  that an extension methods with parameters of type `MethodInfo`
  or `FieldInfo` also behave identically
- removed the `@ExactType` and `@SubtypesOf` annotations and moved
  type queries directly to the `@Enhancement` and `@Registration`
  annotations
- moved the `MetaAnnotations` API from accepting a callback
  to directly returning `ClassConfig`
- specified lifecycle of `SyntheticBean{Creator,Disposer}` and
  `SyntheticObserver`
- specified that `Messages.error` is treated as a deployment problem
