Add "modifyExtensionField" utility function

As calling $updater->modifyField will do the action immediately (not queued),
this may be undesired.

So this is a shortcut/utility function like addExtensionField/addExtensionTable etc,
instead of the developer calling addExtensionUpdate( array() ) themselves.
