Added support for loading extensions

This patch adds support for loading extenions
to APRSD!!

You can create another separate aprsd project, and register
your extension in your setup.cfg as a new entry point for aprsd
like

[entry_points]
aprsd.extension =
    cool = my_project.extension

in your my_project/extension.py file
import your commmands and away you go.
