Remove deprecated install_ext and ~/.ipython/extensions

As pointed out in  #13722 loading extensions from this place have been
deprecated for about 5 years, so time for removal.

I understand this will likely make it too hard for some user who can't
seem to be able to write 8 lines of configuration:

    $ cat mod.py pyproject.toml
    """ipython ext"""
    __version__ = "0.0.1"
    [build-system]
    requires = ["flit_core >=3.2,<4"]
    build-backend = "flit_core.buildapi"

    [project]
    name = "mod"
    dynamic = ["version", "description"]

Those can be reminded that they can also modify their $PYTHONPATH, so
that py files can be imported from their preferred folder.

Closes  #13722

     An IPython extension is an importable Python module that has
     a function with the signature::
 
         def load_ipython_extension(ipython):
             # Do things with ipython
 
     This function is called after your extension is imported and the
     currently active :class:`InteractiveShell` instance is passed as
     the only argument.  You can do anything you want with IPython at
     that point, including defining new magic and aliases, adding new
     components, etc.
     
     You can also optionally define an :func:`unload_ipython_extension(ipython)`
     function, which will be called if the user unloads or reloads the extension.
     The extension manager will only call :func:`load_ipython_extension` again
     if the extension is reloaded.
 
     You can put your extension modules anywhere you want, as long as
     they can be imported by Python's standard import mechanism.  However,
     to make it easy to write extensions, you can also put your extensions
     in ``os.path.join(self.ipython_dir, 'extensions')``.  This directory
     is added to ``sys.path`` automatically.

 ==================
 IPython extensions
 ==================
 
 A level above configuration are IPython extensions, Python modules which modify
 the behaviour of the shell. They are referred to by an importable module name,
-and can be placed anywhere you'd normally import from, or in
-``.ipython/extensions/``.
+and can be placed anywhere you'd normally import from.
 
 Getting extensions
 ==================
 
 A few important extensions are :ref:`bundled with IPython <bundled_extensions>`.
 Others can be found on the `extensions index
 <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Extensions-Index>`_ on the wiki, and
 the `Framework :: IPython tag <https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&c=586>`_
 on PyPI.
 
 Extensions on PyPI can be installed using ``pip``, like any other Python package.
 
 Using extensions
 ================
 
 To load an extension while IPython is running, use the ``%load_ext`` magic:
 
 .. sourcecode:: ipython
 
     In [1]: %load_ext myextension
 
 To load it each time IPython starts, list it in your configuration file::
 
     c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = [
         'myextension'
     ]
 
 Writing extensions
 ==================
 
 An IPython extension is an importable Python module that has a couple of special
 functions to load and unload it. Here is a template::
 
     # myextension.py
 
     def load_ipython_extension(ipython):
         # The `ipython` argument is the currently active `InteractiveShell`
         # instance, which can be used in any way. This allows you to register
         # new magics or aliases, for example.
 
     def unload_ipython_extension(ipython):
         # If you want your extension to be unloadable, put that logic here.
 
 This :func:`load_ipython_extension` function is called after your extension is
 imported, and the currently active :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell`
 instance is passed as the only argument. You can do anything you want with
 IPython at that point.
 
 :func:`load_ipython_extension` will not be called again if the user use
 `%load_extension`.  The user have to explicitly ask the extension to be
 reloaded (with `%reload_extension`). In case where the use ask the extension to
 be reloaded, , the extension will be unloaded (with
 `unload_ipython_extension`), and loaded again. 
 
 Useful :class:`InteractiveShell` methods include :meth:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.register_magic_function`, 
 :meth:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.push` (to add variables to the user namespace) and 
 :meth:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.drop_by_id` (to remove variables on unloading).
 
 .. seealso::
 
    :ref:`defining_magics`
 
 You can put your extension modules anywhere you want, as long as they can be
-imported by Python's standard import mechanism. However, to make it easy to
-write extensions, you can also put your extensions in :file:`extensions/`
-within the :ref:`IPython directory <ipythondir>`. This directory is
-added to :data:`sys.path` automatically.
+imported by Python's standard import mechanism.
 
 When your extension is ready for general use, please add it to the `extensions
 index <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Extensions-Index>`_. We also
 encourage you to upload it to PyPI and use the ``Framework :: IPython``
 classifier, so that users can install it with standard packaging tools.
