Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
We should allow for community extensions to dsc.exe so they show up as sub-commands. For example we may want to have dsc cache --clear which is supported by PS-Adapter extension.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Extensions should be executables (or maybe an extension manifest?) that have -dsc suffix to the command, like cache-dsc.exe

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how dsc.exe discovers and dispatches subcommands, then resolve whether extensions use executables with the -dsc suffix or an extension manifest. Done means a community extension appears as a dsc subcommand, including an example such as cache --clear.
