Support .noderc or similar file-based initialization configurations?

In https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/52219 it was mentioned that for APM use cases it would be nice to have a way to register loaders without using command line flags. It occurred to me maybe what we need is an initialization config similar to the rc files out there for various applications.

For example in my .lldbinit I have these that extend LLDB to help me debug

plugin load /path/to/llnode.dylib
command script import /path/to/lldb_commands.py

It seems this is serving the same use case as the Node.js loader registration - run some scripts or register some plugin to Node.js before you actually start running it.

For loading loaders, I guess we can support something like a .noderc that is discovered when users start running Node.js, or make that part of package.json, which allows registering certain hooks before the actual application code is run. For example in the case of package.json, I guess the project pacakge.json would include something like this:

{
  "preload": [
     "apm-package/register"
   ],
  "dependencies": {
    "apm-package": "1.1.1"
  }
}

If we want something more flexible than "just loading some scripts" though, I guess a dedicated rc file would be easier to use than package.json.
