[feature/extension-manager] Use an incremental process for enable and purge
The enable or purge operation of an extension could take a long time if an expensive operation needs to be executed on a large set of data. To allow this to succeed from a web interface with max_execution_time set in the webserver's php configuration, subsequent requests must continue the operation started earlier. So individual enable and purge implementations must be able to spread their work across multiple steps. PHPBB3-10323
