Mention the need to manually add unlisted script into web_accessible_resources if it's being injected.

Feature Request

After 2 hours of debugging, I've figured out that for an unlisted script to be injectable into the page it has to be declared in the manifest, like so:

// See https://wxt.dev/api/config.html
export default defineConfig({
	manifest: {
		web_accessible_resources: [
			{ resources: ["page.js"], matches: ["<all_urls>"] }
		]
	}
});

it would be good to mention this in the unlisted scripts docs or add it there automatically.

Is your feature request related to a bug?

N/A

What are the alternatives?

Additional context

This is my setup:

// page.ts
export default defineUnlistedScript(() => {
	console.log('unlisted script!')
})

// content.ts
export default defineContentScript({
	matches: ['<all_urls>'],
	main() {
		let pageScriptElem: HTMLScriptElement | null = null;
		
		browser.runtime.onMessage.addListener(
			async function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
				if (request.cmd && request.cmd === 'process') {
					if (pageScriptElem !== null) pageScriptElem.remove();

					pageScriptElem = document.createElement("script")
					pageScriptElem.src = browser.runtime.getURL("/page.js")
					pageScriptElem.type = 'text/javascript'
					document.head.appendChild(pageScriptElem)
				}
			}
		);
	}
});

Let me know if i'm misunderstanding how one should inject scripts like these

Nope, this looks correct. I'll update the docs.

[KraXen72]

it would also maybe be worthwhile to add something like an accessible: boolean flag to unlisted scripts, that automatically adds them to the web-accessible resources for some given urls. or some other way to automate it. but if it's too much work, a mention in the docs works too.

Hmm, for now, I'm gonna pass on this. In addition to #379, I'll create a new issue to supporting adding more manifest related options to the entrypoints.
