However there is still the question of if we should always advertise

advertise that (to clients that ask for it).
This is what I've implemented in the next iteration:
- can_extents still exists, and plugins may use it optionally
to prevent .extents from being called in cases where they
are sometimes unable to handle it
- can_extents does _not_ affect whether or not we advertise
base:allocation; it's always advertised to clients which
ask for it
