Description

Since (I believe) v1.10, it is not necessary to include the parent package name in the extension package name. From the Pkg docs:

Extensions can have arbitrary names (here ContourExt), following the format of this example is likely a good idea for extensions with a single dependency. In Pkg output, extension names are always shown together with their parent package name.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the Pkg.jl documentation for extension naming conventions and identify any extension package names in Trixi.jl that include the parent package name unnecessarily. Rename them to shorter names following the documentation examples.
