refactor: consolidate once-only registration of extras (#85)

## Why this should be merged

Consolidates duplicated logic. Similar rationale to #84.

## How this works

New `register.AtMostOnce[T]` type is responsible for limiting calls to
`Register()`.

## How this was tested

Existing unit tests of `params`. Note that the equivalent functionality
in `types` wasn't tested but now is.
