Provide function to extract the value from a dual tensor

See the updated docstring for example and motivation, and this example, where the internal _extract_value is used, is a "real-world" use case.

Tensor.extract_value is defined (exclusively for AbstractTensor input) and documented in this PR. For scalars ForwardDiff.value should be used.

Due to the relatively generic name and fairly advanced (and not very frequent) use case, I think it is better to not export it, making it very clear that it is exclusively for tensors.
