Propose: Allow custom scripts to be loaded from a JSON file.

[SaintWish]

I think it would more neat to load custom scripts from a JSON file instead of modifying customScripts.lua, similar to how via data files are loaded. It's also configurable from the config table and obeys the order from the JSON file.

Currently, the custom scripts are loaded OnServerPostInit, I couldn't think of a better place of where scripts should be loaded. This would also resolve this issue #80

I'm open to any suggestions.

Here's what the JSON file would look like.

[
  {"script1": "custom/script1"}, //This script would be loaded first since it's first in the list.
  {"script2": "custom/script2"},
  {"someScript": "custom/someScript/main"}
]

Can you rename "scripts.json" into "customScripts.json" first?

in this case, what do we do with the OnServerInit and OnServerPostInit events in our personnalized files ? I use it regularly for creating things at startup

Perhaps the loading should be done in OnServerInit instead? That way you still get the event emission?

Really there should only be one ServerStarted like event (having init and postinit seems odd when there's already validators/handlers), but if PostInit is the defacto standard, loading in init makes the most sense.

This file should be valid json, and just an array is not.

{
  "customScripts": []
}

would be more acceptable in case a different json reader is used
