Eleventy: Feature request: Treat any *.11tydata.js file as a directory data file.

[robdodson]

There have been a few instances where I wished that directory data files did not have to be named the same thing as the directory itself.

For example, I wanted to put a table of contents file inside of each of my category folders:

/performance
  toc.11tydata.js
  post-one/
  post-two/
/security
  toc.11tydata.js
  post-one/
  post-two/

Also, because we localize our site, our directory structure looks like this:

en/
es/
ja/

So the directory data file that I'm using for my homepage has to be called en.11tydata.js but I'd much rather just call it home.11tydata.js so it doesn't seem like it's related to the language itself.

It'd be great if this could apply to JSON files too. For example, allow for DIRECTORY/index.json instead of insisting upon DIRECTORY/directory.json.

⬆️ Seems more framework agnostic to me.
