Description

I have two configs, base.toml that is shared for multiple projects, and my in-project pyproject.toml that extends the one above.

It would be nice if the external could also be extended, much like select and ignore.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Ruff's configuration loading logic in `src/settings/` and `src/lib.rs`. Specifically, understand how `extend` and `external` are currently handled. Examine the implementation for `select` and `ignore` that support extension via `extend external`. Propose a similar mechanism for `extend external` by modifying the config parsing and merging logic.
