Proposal: Allow selection of manifest JSON when loading unpacked extensions

Background

Currently, developers often have to create browser-specific (or version-specific) manifest.json.
When working and/or testing on multiple browsers, developers have to rename manifest.json in order to load it as browsers look for that specific filename.

Proposal

Allow developers (file-picker) to select the manifest (JSON), disregarding the filename when loading unpacked extensions

Example

...
...
manifest-firefox.json
manifest-chrome.json
manifest-mv2.json
manifest-mv3.json
...

Safari does not support loading unpacked extensions, so neutral here.
