file:/// pattern not supported in content_script[matches]

[mrumerf]

Feature Request

The url pattern file:/// isn't supported by wxt and gives a suggestion to open a PR. However this pattern is widely used across browsers including chrome and firefox. Many developers such as myself have to use the file:/// pattern for various reason and this is now seriously becoming a hurdle in one of my bigger projects. If possible can I open a PR for this issue/bug.

Is your feature request related to a bug?

N/A

What are the alternatives?

I don't there's an alternative. We can still use <all_urls> but that is just another burden in dev environment.

Additional context

I have attached a screenshot of the error just for reference.
