Description

### Clear and concise description of the problem

Currently it appears as though the standard Protobuf 3 language feature of (custom) options / extensions is not supported for [decoration](https://typespec.io/docs/libraries/protobuf/reference#decorators) and thus emission:
- https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/proto3/#customoptions

In many practical examples, extensions are used to add additional metadata to the Protobuf IDL.
