Add extension support: postgresql_anonymizer

Neon’s killer feature, instant branches, is not really 100% usable in a lot of industries.

Of major concern is data protection policies like GDPR, POPIA, HIPAA

Being able to serve anonymised data is a crucial function, and is currently achieved by using something like Replibyte to do a dump/anonymisation/restore process, which negates Neon’s zero-cost “git like” branching.

The postgresql_anonymizer extension - PostgreSQL Anonymizer - solves this problem very elegently, and does not change Neon’s operating model, as far as I can see

Great idea. I’d love to see this extension available.
