Removes scripts from background section of google V3 manifest file

[power-spike]

This is a small little update.

It adds in 'replace in file webpack plugin' - which allows you to update & modify files after webpack has created them.

What this does - is finding the manifest file under dist/chrome - and remove the scripts section on the build so you don't have to do it manually during the development phase.

Nice, I'm currently doing that in https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/blob/develop/build.sh, I guess I need to remove that and also update the uploaded file in

web-companion/.github/workflows/build-release.yml

Line 58 in 2e33a3f

asset_path: packages/chrome.zip

to the original file.

Thank you!

NP At all, I found this repo while trying to work out how to do browser extensions. and remembered a comment about having to manually update the manifest file for chrome :)

The plugin is nice - and you can target files in directories - so you might be able to remove more items out of your build file as well :)

Strange, this didn't do anything for https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/releases/tag/v22.12.0. I'll have to enable my workaround in the build script again since the Chrome release is currently broken and Google denied the publication of the extension.

The "scripts": [] is removed in the manifest in the dist folder, but it isn't removed in the package in the packages folder.
