Motivation for this change

The programs.chromium.extensions option currently appends the chrome web store update URL to the extension ID for the ExtensionInstallForcelist option. As indicated by the documentation for ExtensionInstallForcelist this is not necessary as it is already the default.

Removing this implicit default would allow a user to more easily install extensions not in the chrome web store by setting the update URL themselves. An example was also added to the documentation.

If an alternative schema for this option is desired, I am open to it. Maybe a list of { id= "..."; updateURL = "..."; } attrsets? I tried to just do a minimal change that wouldn't break any existing configs.

Also relevant to this PR is #76863 which would be nicer but probably requires a lot more work.

Just removed the "bypass paywalls" example from this PR. Regardless of how you feel about paywall bypassing, the update URL changed and it's not great to have an example that 404s. This PR remains ready to merge.
