list-extensions command to show experimental bases under experimental column
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to give experimental bases their own list-extensions column remains unlabelled and untriaged; current code still lists every supported base together.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, maintainer comments, or other evidence of maintainer assessment, so it still needs triage. The current ExtensionModel stores only bases and marshals them exclusively as "Supported bases", even though the extension API already exposes is_experimental(base) and tests include ExperimentalExtension, making this a valid, localized feature gap.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Rockcraft list-extensions returns a list of all extensions and their supported bases. This has no mention of any experimental bases.
```console
$ rockcraft list-extensions
Extension name Supported bases
--------------------- ----------------------------------------------
django-framework bare, ubuntu:22.04, ubuntu@22.04, ubuntu@24.04
expressjs-framework bare, ubuntu@24.04
fastapi-framework bare, ubuntu@24.04
flask-framework bare, ubuntu:22.04, ubuntu@22.04, ubuntu@24.04
go-framework bare, ubuntu@24.04
spring-boot-framework bare, ubuntu@24.04
```
An example of what the proposal aims for is to have a similar result like with charmcraft where using list-extensions gives the following
```console
$ charmcraft list-extensions
Extension name Supported bases Experimental bases
--------------------- ----------------- --------------------
django-framework ubuntu@22.04
expressjs-framework ubuntu@24.04
fastapi-framework ubuntu@24.04
flask-framework ubuntu@22.04
go-framework ubuntu@24.04
spring-boot-framework ubuntu@24.04
```
### The problem it solves
Provides a reliable way to show the user that an extension is experimental through the tool directly.
Provides consistent behavior between charmcraft and rockcraft.
