Hi,

does Quarto extensions/formats have to be alone in a Github repository?
I wanted to store several formats in one repository (https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-ext) and apparently this is not currently possible.

```bash
quarto install extension mcanouil/quarto-ext/coeos
# Quarto extensions may execute code when documents are rendered. If you do not 
# trust the authors of the extension, we recommend that you do not install or 
# use the extension.
#  ? Do you trust the authors of this extension (Y/n) › Yes
# ERROR: TypeError: Invalid URL
```

Did I miss something when we want a subdirectory?

Definitely- we should either support subdirectories or perhaps allow targeting / selection of specific extensions within the same repo. Seems useful!
