[docs] OID information: provide more detail about the structure of each X.509 extension? #900

Description

@woodruffw

I was perusing the oid-info doc for the nth time, and I noticed that we don't currently explicitly specify how each OID-identified X.509v3 extension is laid out.

For example:

1.3.6.1.4.1.57264.1.2 | GitHub Workflow Trigger
This contains the event_name claim from the GitHub OIDC Identity token that contains the name of the event that triggered the workflow run. (docs)

In particular, it might make sense to clarify that each of our extensions is (currently) laid out "inline", rather than being a nested ASN.1 structure containing the string or other data.
