Add option to customize path/name of content.config.ts

[dy0gu]

What version of starlight are you using?

0.32.2

What is your idea?

Allow choosing the path where Starlight looks for the content.config.ts file, using a field in the astro.config.ts plugin configuration.

Why is this feature necessary?

Starlight has a ton of customization, but choosing the folder structure with the content.config.ts is pretty much the only that still can't be changed, it would be great to see it possible!

This is possibility a huge nitpick, but I really like having all my "configs" in a config folder, and it is really bothering me having everything else there except a file with the literal word "config" in the name.

I'm hoping this is not too big of an ask/implementation, which is why I will be checking the box saying I'm willing to make the PR myself!

Do you have examples of this feature in other projects?

Thanks for the feedback.

The content.config.ts file is actually not something owned by Starlight but rather by Astro which Starlight is built on top of and its Content Collections feature. Its configuration file is at the moment not something that can be changed, except changing the location of the entire src/ directory using the srcDir option.

I don't think there are discussions about adding a way to change the location of this file, maybe it could be something to suggest if you think it would be useful, and if it's something ever implemented, Starlight would be updated to support it.
