Wrangler: Request: Set JavaScript path by wrangler.toml or CLI

[jahredhope]

💡 Feature request

Wrangler has been awesome to get to work with so thanks for all the hard work. I'd like to please raise a feature request that would help with my use-case.

Overview and problem statement

I'm attempting to incrementally adopt wrangler for uploading a worker and related KV storage.
I've already got a (perhaps over-complicated) build process so for now I just want wrangler to upload the file. (After doing a bunch of KV stuff)
I'm able to do this using type="javascript" which is great, but this requires me to modify the package.json main attribute.
Unfortunatly modifying this attribute breaks other things in my project.

Basic example

I'd like to be able to specify the path to find the single JavaScript file by either wrangler.toml

type = "javascript"
main = "dist/worker.js"

or via the CLI

$ wrangler publish --main "dist/worker.js"

My preference would be via wrangler.toml

this makes sense to me - i always thought it was strange that we grabbed it from package.json

for webpack type projects, we allow a webpack_config field to point to a custom configuration.

i think for this one we should add a field in the toml javascript_config to match that convention.

for my money i like main, or entry-point or similar; there's not really a config here like with webpack, just an entry point file, so naming it config might be confusing. but semantics aside, i like this idea.
