Enable more customisation for editLink

[lgastler]

What version of starlight are you using?

0.17.2

What is your idea?

Enable additional customisations for generating the editLink when the content files are not in the default location or are part of a custom setup. This can be achieved by offering more options in astro.config.js for the edit link or by calling a function, for instance.

Why is this feature necessary?

We have a unique setup: our content (.md files) resides in a separate repository from the website/starlight app. This arrangement serves various purposes. In our pipeline, before generating different doc versions, we extract the necessary "content" from the other repo and copy it to the required location.

As a result, the base src/content/data portion added to the editUrl does not align with our structure, given the differing file organisation.

Do you have examples of this feature in other projects?
