Extensibility Retro

I was support hero the second week. Still managed to get quite a bit done.

Highlights

From the updated list, everything got done:

• Figured out CH duplicate distinct IDs (the bulk of my time was spent doing this)
• Updated the Snowflake plugin to a point that it is now fully ready for usage by TS (+ support to them and other users of the plugin)
• Started talks with Snowplow about an integration

And some additional tasks got accomplished:

• Add API extension plugin-server#519 ⭐
• Execute merge_people in plugin server #5452
• Handle moveDistinctIds race conditions plugin-server#524
• Add more contrast between official and community plugins #5448
• Do not load toolbar when disabled posthog-js#264
• Handle elements conflict gracefully plugin-server#523
• nicer handling of insert distinct id failure plugin-server#527
• Trigger onFeatureFlags on reset posthog-js#263
