Before this PR, the registry.json file only contained information on imported catalogs. With this PR, registry.json also contains information about installed extensions.

This was done because on Windows, it is not possible to delete a jar when it was previously loaded by a class loader. This means that removing an extension was not possible on Windows.

With this PR, when removing an extension, an attempt is made to remove the jars, but the whole operation doesn't fail if the jars cannot be deleted. This doesn't cause any issue because now it is registry.json that contains the information on whether or not an extension is installed, not the extension jars.

When an extension is uninstalled or updated, a dialog now informs the user that the application should be restarted in order to see the changes, since jars cannot be unloaded.
