Bug 1602757 adds preallocation of most types of processes; however extension processes fail when preallocated due to code that calls ExtensionPolicyService::IsExtensionProcess() before the remoteType has been set to 'extension'

It would be nice to be able to preallocate extension processes as well to (hopefully) improve startup.

Since we normally have only a single extension process and it's long-lived, this is mostly a startup issue.
