Support devbox.jsonc for better editor & diff highlighting

[gjoseph92]

What problem are you trying to solve?

devbox.json supports comments, which is quite helpful. By default though, IDEs and GitHub diffs don't expect .json files to have comments, and highlight them as errors.

What solution would you like?

If devbox supported searching for devbox.jsonc files as well as .json, I could just name them accurately and most syntax highlighters would just work.

Alternatives you've considered

In VSCode, I've added this to my settings.json, which at least helps in the IDE:

    "files.associations": {
      "devbox.json": "jsonc"
    }

However, even with devbox.json linguist-language=JSON-with-Comments in .gitattributes, I can't get GitHub diffs to not highlight comments in red in diffs of the devbox.json, which makes PR review annoying.

Yes, this would be one less rough spot for new users. I'd also vote for just using YAML.

I think YAML would be great for another reason: YAML has powerful multi-line strings that I think are really nice when writing shell scripts. Coming from writing shells scripts in YAML for GitLab CI, it feels a bit painful to write scripts in devbox.json. I do appreciate that Devbox uses an array of strings for each script, that already makes it a lot nicer than a single string.
