Subject: [PATCH] Migrate AD backends to a group env
 (test/Extensions/Project.toml)

Move the heavy optional AD/analysis backends Mooncake, Zygote, and
SparseConnectivityTracer out of the root package's old-style
[extras]/[targets].test and into a dedicated group env
test/Extensions/Project.toml (the group whose test files actually
`using` them). All three are used only in test/Extensions/*.jl.

This stops the root/Core Downgrade lane from floor-resolving the
Mooncake/Zygote joint dependency graph: the jdc-52 downgrade harness
drops these three from its "Independently downgrading N weakdep
extension(s)" set (7 -> 4) and no longer writes Manifest-Mooncake,
Manifest-Zygote, or Manifest-SparseConnectivityTracer, while the base
project still resolves. The cross-backend AD tests are unchanged; the
SciMLTesting folder harness auto-activates the group env, so
runtests.jl (run_tests()) needs no wiring.

All three moved packages remain [weakdeps] (they gate extensions), so
their root [compat] entries are kept (no dangling-compat resolver
error). No package is a pure test-only extra here, so no [compat]
deletion is needed.
