Description

As we expand the extension manager to support more things, it is going to become important for a type library, WARP library, etc, to be able to advertise itself as available in some situation where it isn't currently downloaded but could be relevant to the loaded file.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked extension-manager expansion issue #3826 and the surrounding extension-manager context. Define how type libraries and WARP libraries advertise that they are relevant but not downloaded, and what on-demand loading should do. Done means the expected availability and loading behavior is specified clearly enough to implement.
