Eli f3a3d31dc2 Fix quickstart EXTENDING.md reference to use full URL (#12)
The quickstart command referenced EXTENDING.md as if it were a local file,
which was confusing for users running bd in their own projects. Now it
clearly points to the upstream documentation with a full GitHub URL.

- Changed from "See EXTENDING.md" to "See database extension docs"
- Added full URL to the original repo's EXTENDING.md
- Preserved the original "integration patterns" context
