Documentation for _extend

[Anemy]

Introduced in PR #229

It's a pretty useful method and I only stumbled across it through a comment on a pr.
It may help people out to document it somewhere.

Its described in the 1.0 here: http://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/web3.html#extend

And the old one has an example here: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/master/internal/web3ext/web3ext.go#L36-L63

@frozeman This documentation for _extend is now gone. Is there anything happened? Is it unavailable in the latest 1.0?

Even I can't find the extend function. Where is it now? Please help.

@ashish10677 Actually I found it. So, they are in process of changing the web3 1.0 structure. We now should create a "Web3Module" if we want to add new methods, the extend way is deprecated. See https://medium.com/@samuel_91690/web3-js-v1-0-0-beta-38-8d2bb6e73d0b .

@yxliang01 Hello, may I ask is there any source code for https://www.npmjs.com/package/web3-parity? Thanks.

@btenterprise2020 It's not yet available. But anyways, I don't think we should hi-jack this issue here. If you want to discuss something about it, maybe can have a chat at https://gitter.im/yxliang01/community . PM there is also fine.
