jsonv5 is nearly unusable for homebrew installed v2ray

What version of V2Ray are you using?

V2Ray 5.7.0 (V2Fly, a community-driven edition of V2Ray.) Custom (go1.20.6 darwin/amd64)
A unified platform for anti-censorship.

What's your scenario of using V2Ray?

irrelevant

What did you see?

homebrew services still locked to old configuration format (v2ray run -c /usr/local/etc/v2ray/config.json)

also -d option doesn't pick up v5.json files.

What's your expectation?

1. fix configdir option so v2ray could pick up config.v5.json etc. and parse them correctly.

2. modify https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/v2ray.rb#L65 to run -d /usr/local/etc/v2ray so brew v2ray keeps jsonv4 backward compatibility while jsonv5 users could also live.

modifying the plist file would be overridden when updated, so that's not an option

I'm thankful for the lack of documentation and the fact that it wasted me an entire night on this. I would love to write a detailed bug report but I need sleep.

[frankli0324]

the reason to the confdir issue is that filepath.Ext only returns the last part of a file (see https://pkg.go.dev/path/filepath#example-Ext)

https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core/blob/master/main/commands/run.go#L122

and someone somehow decided to use .xx.json as the "extension" of the config file. absolute genius.

V2Ray will try to use all config loaders, but v4 loaders may not throw any expectation when loading v5 format config.
I think we can add a priority for config loaders. @xiaokangwang

I think the first issue is fixed.
