Subject: [PATCH] Remove the extensions submodule (#17097)

### Description
Remove the onnxruntime-extensions submodule since it now was used via
cmake FetchContent


### Motivation and Context
The submodule relies on an outdated version of the extensions, and the
build instructions should be updated to eliminate any confusion.

 ## Build ONNXRuntime with Extensions
-We have supported build onnxruntime-extensions as a static library and link it into ONNXRuntime. To enable custom operators from onnxruntime-extensions, you should add argument `--use_extensions`, which will use onnxruntime-extensions from git submodule in path cmake/external/onnxruntime-extensions **by default**.
