Setting assetsInclude to '**/*.html' breaks build output

[andreademasi]

Describe the bug

When using assetsInclude: ['**/*.html'], build output contains no javascript in the assets folder (or transpiled typescript) but instead has a index-DUgeDK0c.html which appears to be the copy as is of index.html in the root folder. A file named index.html containing export default "/assets/index-DUgeDK0c.html" can also be found in the build output

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a vanilla vite project
2. Set assetsInclude: ['**/*.html'] in vite.config.js
3. Run build

What is your expected behavior? You are telling Vite to treat all HTML files as a static asset.

I'm trying to treat html files in my source folder as assets instead of actual source code (I know, it's a weird use case). Basically letting only index.html in the root folder be the only piece of html to be treated as source.

Then, you'll need to exclude index.html from it. It seems it doesn't work though.
