🚀 Feature: Allow overriding Knip entry

Feature Request Checklist

• I have pulled the latest main branch of the repository.
• I have searched for related issues and found none that matched my issue.

Overview

Repos may need to customize their knip.json on top of what blockKnip currently allows. For example, https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/refined-saved-replies switches its entry to src/content-script.ts rather than index.ts.

I'll make entry an Addon.

Looking at https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/refined-saved-replies/blob/9306079774dfb3e3294e9c8e87c5cc9c05a70ff0/package.json#L28

Wanted to let you know that Knip understands for quite a few of executables like esbuild that the first positional argument represents an entry file:

• There's a "fallback resolver" for simple cases that don't have an actual plugin:
  • babel-node, esbuild, execa, vite-node, zx
  • source
• Some plugins have a "Shell commands" section, e.g. the tsx plugin:
  • Docs: https://knip.dev/reference/plugins/tsx
  • Plugin implementation exposes args with positional: true (source)
  • The same goes currently for glob, node, playwright, playwright-test and ts-node

While this totally lacks documentation/discovery and might seem a bit of a random list of executables, just wanted to chime in and say what's currently available i.e. for aforementioned executables the entry files do not require to be modified cq added to the config (also obviously it does not hurt in any way to make it more explicit). Feel free to request additions if that's useful, I'm happy to expand on this idea.
