Extension library for tox

Tox provides a reasonable base set of features, but new features are slow to implement, and may not be wanted by all clients. This is reasonable as any protocol changes are API breaking and force clients to update to use them. Once the features are in they are there forever meaning quality of the API and the network layer have to be very strong.

An extension library with negotiation allows more experimentation with less risk resulting in more features for tox clients.
