This adds a new page that covers how to store extra_data on resources
using the old assignment method and the newer merging/patching methods.
It covers usage in detail and links to the specs for more information.
It also talks about access restrictions, including the prefix for
private keys and the impact of APIExtraDataAccessHook.

All resources that use extra_data now link to the new docs. Some of the
older resources that talked about assignment have now had that
information removed in favor of the new page.

Built and read through the new docs. Checked for build issues, spelling
mistakes, and all links.

Description From Last Updated

"dictionary objects" is redundant, since this is JSON. Should just be "objects"

Should use the word "objects" instead of "dictionaries", since this is JSON.

dictionary -> object. Same throughout.
