[MNT,DOC] Remove `extension_templates` #1657

Closed MatthewMiddlehurst closed 3 months ago

MatthewMiddlehurst commented 3 months ago

What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.

Extension templates are a directory of template classes aimed at easing the creation of new estimators.

Overtime this has become outdated, however. It is missing a lot of new base classes, and some of the current ones are to be deprecated.

We do not see much usage of these, and rather than spend time continuously maintaining them I suggest we just remove the files.

They can be added back later if someone wishes to maintain them, but as the interface evolves they do more harm remaining in their current state.
