Extension storage

[GarboMuffin]

There are two kinds of storage:

• per-project: runtime.extensionStorage[id], for global things
• per-sprite: target.extensionStorage[id], for things that may vary for each sprite

(note that this is a different metaphor than what Scratch uses for variables, where global variables are stored on the stage which itself just a sprite)

both are saved in project.json (or sprite.json, when exporting a single sprite) and thus must be any JSON-serializable value

to clear the data, use the delete operator or set the data to null/undefined

you are intended to index into extensionStorage with your extension's id; if you don't then your data won't be saved (it removes unused extensions)

currently there are no helper methods, it's just a raw object you can read and write to. that can change if you want (eg. getOrDefault())

nobody quite answered whether they want any helpers so i assume you dont
