Allow more control over file split / ability to merge js files

[muzidudu]

Describe the problem

After building too many files, can all css and js files be merged? Since the project is not large, I feel that too many requests are not more efficient than individual ones.

Describe the proposed solution

Is it possible to add a configuration to decide whether the code needs to be split? After trying the vite configuration item build-rollupOptions-output-manualChunks, it seems to have no effect and will prompt an error

I've been waiting for #3882 to get picked up one day. Isn't this a duplicate of that one?

For windmill (https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill), we are building a big single-page-app, and it would make it a lot easier if we could just have one bundle-.js to download

That doesn't seem accurate without more details. The files will be downloaded in parallel, so there's no performance hit to splitting them. There are however several performance wins to splitting the files. It means you don't need to request all the JS for the site, but only for the page you're on. It also means better caching when you update your site as only the files that have changed need to be re-requested instead of re-downloading all the JS for your whole site
