Change named extension syntax

Change from
```
given extension foo: { ... }
```
to
```
given foo: extension { ... }
```
The new syntax is more regular and pleasing to the eye. It avoids
the unusual `: { ... }` symbol combination.

 ### Given Extensions with Collective Parameters
 
 If a given extension defines several extension methods one can pull out the left parameter section
 as well as any type parameters of these extension methods into the given instance itself.
 For instance, here is a given instance with two extension methods.
 ```scala
-given extension listOps: {
+given listOps: extension {
   def (xs: List[T]) second[T]: T = xs.tail.head
   def (xs: List[T]) third[T]: T = xs.tail.tail.head
 }
 ```
 The repetition in the parameters can be avoided by moving the parameters in front of the opening brace. The following version is a shorthand for the code above.
 ```scala
