enhance manifest configuration

[gweesin]

Description

When we use the webpack-manifest-plugin, the manifest is generated at the root of the dist directory. However, with Vite, the manifest is generated by default at .vite/manifest.json and cannot be changed.

Suggested solution

It would be advantageous to modify the generated directory to match the behavior of Webpack.
