    extensionSystem: Create a file to flag that extensions are being loaded
    
    When the extension system is loaded, create the
    gnome-shell-disable-extensions file in the users runtime directory. This
    file is automatically removed 60s later. The sole purpose of this file
    is to be consumed by the systemd units. If the file exists, the systemd
    units will disable extensions when the gnome-shell fails.
