    docs: Update instructions for extension additions for meson
    
    The steps for adding a new extension are clearly different in meson,
    so update the instructions accordingly. Don't bother with keeping
    the existing autotools steps - supporting both build systems in
    parallel is just temporary, autotools is on its way out.

 ## Creating a New Extension
 
 To create a new extension, add a subdirectory in extensions.
-Then create a Makefile.am like the one in example, replacing
-the EXTENSION_ID with the basename of your extension, which
-must match the UUID in metadata.json.
-If you need additional files, add them to EXTENSION_EXTRA.
-
-Then modify extensions/Makefile.am and configure.ac. It should
-be pretty self-explanatory.
+Then copy extensions/meson.build.template to meson.build in
+the new subdirectory. If you need additional sources, add
+them to extension_sources. Similarly add GSettings schemas
+to extension_schemas and other files to extension_data.
+
+Then modify the toplevel meson.build to add the new extension
+name in the appropriate set (that is one of classic_extensions,
+default_extensions or all_extensions).
 
 Don't forget to add any translatable file to po/POTFILES.in, and
 then you're done.
