Add small gnome-shell-extension-prefs script

Commit d76162c1c047c removed the ability to pass an extension UUID to
the Extensions app, when we moved the dialog to a portal and made
gnome-shell use it instead of spawning the extensions app.

However that missed that many extensions called out to the app to
open their own prefs.

While extensions are encouraged to switch to the new openPrefs()
convenience method added in commit 8030d9ad323e, restore the old
behavior with a small script under the old gnome-shell-extension-prefs
name that either calls out to the portal or launches the app.
