Re-resolve the sidebar when its extension changes.

If a developer converts a versioned sidebar from JSON to JavaScript while the dev server is running, the cached metadata still points to JSON. getPathsToWatch() also watches only that selected path, so the new JavaScript file is not picked up until a restart. Watch both candidate paths and resolve the sidebar again on content reload. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/src/versions/files.ts
at line 228:
Update the versioned-sidebar path resolution around resolveVersionSidebarsPath
so content reloads re-resolve the sidebar instead of relying on cached metadata.
Update getPathsToWatch() to watch both JSON and JavaScript candidate paths,
allowing an extension change to trigger that reload.
