Issue 17296: Section 7.4.1.2.2 "Member ID-to-Parameter ID Mapping" is underspecified (dds-xtypes-ftf)

Problem:
The mapping of type member IDs to DDS-RTPS parameter IDs described in section 7.4.1.2.2, "Member ID-to-Parameter ID Mapping", will never result in FLAG_IMPL_EXTENSION being set. However, this is not stated explicitly.


Proposed Resolution:
Explicitly state that RTPS parameters corresponding to members of user-defined data types should never set FLAG_IMPL_EXTENSION.


RTPS parameters corresponding to members of RTPS discovery-defined data types may or may not have FLAG_IMPL_EXTENSION set as defined by RTPS itself; the contract is unchanged. The mechanism by which an implementation generates that flag's value is unspecified.
