Description
the (Awesome) Spectral Indices implementation in openeo had a extra-indices-dict.json file with additional index definitions from the beginning, but @mbuchhorn correctly points out in #501 that this is a design error as it blindly overwrites indices Awesome Spectral Indices with a colliding name (e.g. NDGI, NDMI and S2WI at the moment).
I already removed the colliding indices NDGI, NDMI and S2WI from extra-indices-dict.json in 08cf2aa317a0ca23d1da952ba8139798184161a9
I think we should get rid of extra-indices-dict.json as a whole and think of another mechanism to work with custom index definitions

Research direction
Start by inspecting extra-indices-dict.json and the discussion in issue #501, including commit 08cf2aa317a0ca23d1da952ba8139798184161a. Determine how custom index definitions should be provided without overwriting Awesome Spectral Indices entries; the work is done when the file is removed and a decided alternative mechanism is documented and supported.
