Add extension reload script

[nbiscaro]

Automate the process of reloading the extension by:

• Building the extension with make debug
• Installing the extension
• Restarting PG
• Dropping the extension
• Creating the extension

Example usage:

./scripts/reload-extension.sh

Found this useful so thought I would share. Any other workflow automations can also be added here.

Why do we need to restart Postgres in order to reload extension?
I usually just make debug -j8 && make install then DROP EXTENSION pg_mooncake CASCADE; CREATE EXTENSION pg_mooncake

Restarting Postgres is not strictly necessary in most cases, but it ensures there are no lingering issues or edge cases. Since restarting is quick and retains session history, it’s a cautious approach with minimal downside.

Hi, I don't see an immediate need for this script. Let's defer the diff for now, and revisit it in the future when the process becomes more complex. At that point, a script like this might be useful
