How to leverage "booting an app using component" in extensions #5422

@bajtos

Description

@bajtos

#5304 added a helper allowing applications to load artifacts from other LB4 applications, see
https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/Booting-an-Application.html#boot-an-application-using-component

This concept can be useful to extension authors too, let's update our documentation to explain that in more details.

Acceptance criteria

  • Add content explaining when and how to leverage the concept of app composition in new LB4 extensions

    For example, we can add a new page to Extending LoopBack or expand one of the existing pages

  • Add similar content for people migrating a LB3 extension to LB4, see Migrating components and extension. Don't repeat yourself, the migration guide should focus on aspects unique to extensions migrating from LB3 and refer to content created in the step above wherever possible & appropriate.
