Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
As a user, I want the ability to opt out of extension discovery. The engine always runs the available extension discoveries on each run. Having the ability to opt out of extensions would speed up the process of listening out the available resources.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Add a new setting in the dsc.settings.json that holds an array of DSC extension resources to opt out of. This can be the fully qualified name, e.g., Microsoft.Windows.Appx/Discover.

Research direction
Start by tracing the engine's extension discovery flow and how settings from dsc.settings.json are loaded. Define the opt-out setting for fully qualified extension resources, then verify that opted-out discoveries are skipped while other discoveries still run.
