The extending point of basic JGSS-API.

If a module wants to extend basic JGSS-API classes, it should extends this class and register itself as "the extender" using the setExtender method. When various GSSManager.createXXX methods are called, they will call "the extender"'s wrap methods to create objects of extended types instead of basic types.

We have only one extension now defined in com.sun.security.jgss, and the registering process is triggered in GSSManagerImpl by calling Class.forName("com.sun.security.jgss.Extender"). Only GSSContext and GSSCredential are extended now.

The setExtender method should be called before any JGSS call.
