cmd/protoc-gen-go: remove generation of the ExtensionRangeArray method

The ExtensionRangeArray was a pseudo-internal API that was used by
the protobuf runtime implementation to know what the extension ranges are.
For some time now, the runtime implementation does not make use of this.

According to all the latest modules known by the module proxy,
no code depends directly on this method being present.

In the extremely rare case where some user code is depending on this method,
the user can place a .go file next to the generated .pb.go file that
injects this method.
