docs: update RFC, user guide, and API reference for multi-catalog support

- RFC: replace FUTURE FEATURE section with full implementation docs,
  add catalog stack resolution order, config file examples, merge
  conflict resolution, and install_allowed behavior
- EXTENSION-USER-GUIDE.md: add multi-catalog section with CLI examples
  for catalogs/catalog-add/catalog-remove, update catalog config docs
- EXTENSION-API-REFERENCE.md: add CatalogEntry class docs, update
  ExtensionCatalog docs with new methods and result annotations,
  add catalog CLI commands (catalogs, catalog add, catalog remove)

Also fix extension_catalogs command to correctly show "Using built-in
default catalog stack" when config file exists but has empty catalogs

entry = CatalogEntry(
url="https://example.com/catalog.json",
name="org-approved",
priority=1,
install_allowed=True,
)
```
**Fields**:
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `url` | `str` | Catalog URL (must use HTTPS, or HTTP for localhost) |
| `name` | `str` | Human-readable catalog name |
| `priority` | `int` | Sort order (lower = higher priority, wins on conflicts) |
