Allow including some files from node_modules

[Gozala]

Is this a feature request or a bug?

I guess this is feature request.

What is the current behavior?

We would like WebExtension authors to install libdweb via npm and then add entries to the manifest to include experimental APIs.

Sadly it becomes impossible to use web-ext build to create an add-on such that it would include experimental APIs from libdweb.

What is the expected or desired behavior?

Following should include path negated in the ignored pattern.

web-ext build --ignore-files '!node_modules/libdweb/src/**'

node --version && npm --version && web-ext --version
v9.3.0
5.5.1
2.7.0

Hi @rpl is it possible to publish version that contains #1348 as alpha or beta or something that people can install with npm ? We are hosting Mozilla workshop next week https://decentralizedweb.net/ and would like to use web-ext for testing and building but this issue prevents us from later.

We were planning to use npm install --save-dev https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext.git but as it turns out web-ext requires build step and it does not run on install, so that is not an option either.

If publishing with-in a given timeframe not an option please let me know, in that case we'll probably publish a fork under different name or something so we can have a smooth workshop.

Thanks
