Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I'm a newbie to pyinfra and was looking for third party extensions as the core operations and facts are non-extensive. Specifically I couldn't find a ufw or hcloud (hetzner cloud) operation/fact in core (https://docs.pyinfra.com/en/1.x/operations.html). I skimmed through the doc, website and readme for the place where I could browse third party extensions but didn:'t find a clue there. I did a search on pypi for "pyinfra" and found some of them. https://github.com/Fizzadar/pyinfra/issues/12 lets me assume there isn't any guidance on distributing third party extensions yet. I'm coming straight from ansible by the way.

Describe the solution you'd like

Abstract: discoverability of extensions, encouragement and guidance to create them.
