Elasticsearch enumerates Lucene files extensions for various
purposes: grouping files in segment stats under a description,
mapping files in memory through HybridDirectory or adjusting
the caching strategy for Lucene files in searchable snapshots.
But when a new extension is handled somewhere(let's say,
added to the list of files to mmap) it is easy to forget to add it
in other places. This commit is an attempt to centralize in a
single place all known Lucene files extensions in Elasticsearch.
