Run extension registration independently by the initial main image re…

…gistration status

Both update registercloudguest and enable requested additional

BYOS and PAYG. It is possible as at the playbook point that enable
extensions, the image is already registered.
Fix a couple of lint errors and improve the inline documentation.
