Description

Per @CharliePoole in https://github.com/nunit/docs/pull/495#discussion_r464011979:

I wrote the first drafts of this with plans for eventually implementing addins, which had a different meaning in the docs. They were more complex and involved cooperating extensions.

In fact, we never impelmented it. Issue nunit/nunit-console#20 is still there but I don't think it's getting any attention.

Anyway, I think we're stuck with the terminology "addins file" but otherwise we should talk about extensions rather than addins.

This is an issue to track a quick comb-through of the site language in general around this term.

Research direction

Review the site's language around “Addins,” using the discussion in nunit/docs#495 and the linked NUnit console issue for context. Update general terminology to use “extensions” where appropriate, while preserving the established “addins file” wording; the site-wide wording review is complete when no unintended uses remain.
