feat: agave v2 rpc: replace getStakeActivation with rpc-client-extension

[buffalojoec]

Draft implementation of replacing getStakeActivation with the extension API over at https://github.com/anza-xyz/solana-rpc-client-extensions.

This is just to show what it would look like if we consumed the API directly. We also may have to reimplement the code, considering the dependency on web3.js.

@steveluscher is there any JS magic we can use to allow a circular dependency?
https://github.com/anza-xyz/solana-rpc-client-extensions/blob/aed9a86988f7f8055fe3dd3cd3e28761ad10ce04/js-v1/package.json#L51

If we can, and we want to support this, I'll need to make a change to the extension library to allow commitment and minContextSlot arguments. However, epoch is just not going to be possible, since you can't get that information for previous epochs via RPC anymore.

This is a good start: anza-xyz/solana-rpc-client-extensions#17

There need not be a concrete dependency on legacy web3.js at all. After anza-xyz/solana-rpc-client-extensions#17, the only use of @solana/web3.js in that module are in type positions.

I think maybe you can figure the rest of it out? It'll have something to do with something something dependencies something something.
