Loads all config files as json that matches the criteria in a conventional, files like:

 | package.json           <- First priority
   | "plugin": { ... }
 | plugin                 <- Forth priority
   | anything.json          <- 2
   | anything.yaml          <- loaded if not json
   | anything.[js|ts]       <- loaded if not yaml
 | .plugin                <- Fifth priority
   | anything.json          <- 2
   | anything.yaml          <- loaded if not json
   | anything.[js|ts]       <- loaded if not yaml
 | plugin.json            <- Second priority
 | plugin.yaml            <- loaded if not json
 | plugin.[js|ts]         <- loaded if not yaml
 | .plugin.json           <- Third priority
 | .plugin.yaml           <- loaded if not json
