The extras docs said dependency-group packages cannot be used as extras, which is still true for naming them in [tool.poetry.extras]. What was missing is that re-declaring the same main dependency in a group can add extra package extras for local installs, and Poetry combines them when both the group and the project extra are selected. Document that pattern (with a "*" version tip) so the current behavior is intentional and discoverable. Closes python-poetry#8581.

Summary
Documents that re-declaring a main optional dependency inside a dependency group can add extra package extras for local installs, and that Poetry combines those extras when both the group and the project extra are selected.
Also clarifies the existing note: extras entries must still name packages from the project's main dependencies (not packages that exist only in a group).
Closes #8581.
