OpenAL extension repository

An update repository of OpenAL extensions (forked of the unmaintenanced repository openalext), with compile information available from different sources. As for now, a lot of these descriptions are only stubs or extracts from headers.

If you have more detailed description of a specific OpenAL extension (or would like to provide list of extensions available on a specific platform), please issue a pull request.
