Arrange for the control files to be in $SHAREDIR/extension not $SHAREDIR/contrib, since we're generally trying to deprecate the term "contrib" and this is a once-in-many-moons opportunity to get rid of it in install paths. Fix PGXS to install the $EXTENSION file into that directory no matter what MODULEDIR is set to; a nondefault MODULEDIR should only affect the script and secondary extension files. Fix the control file directory parameter to be interpreted relative to $SHAREDIR, to avoid a surprising disconnect between how you specify that and what you set MODULEDIR to. Per discussion with David Wheeler.
