Allow wildcard includes in config.json to parse additional page json files about hadotnet.commandcenter HOT 3 OPEN

Hey there, looks like this is your first time submitting a bug or enhancement to HACC! Thanks for helping make HACC a better app! 🎉

Would you be able to provide a sample (JSON markup or similar) of what this would look like?

Sure! Something like this.
In the main config.json, add a section to "pages" listing files or directories of files to include:

"pages": [
    {
        "files": [
            "./page1.json",
            "./data/page2.json"
        ],
        "directories": [
            "./page1/",
            "./data/page2/"
        ]
    },
    ... other pages below
]

Each of the files directly included or included in the directories would contain one or more sections that would normally be inside the "pages" section, so a file would look like this:

{
    "name": "default",
    "description": "Default Page",
    "isDefaultPage": true,
    "autoReturnSeconds": 0,
    "tiles": [
        {
            "name": "Tile",
            "sizeX": 2,
            "sizeY": 2,
            "type": "state"
        }
    ]
}

Spanning multiple pages is less important to me, but I suppose you could define a page section with a "span" key where you could list page names that it appears on.
