The goal is to allow custom configuration for variants_dir to define our own board variant directly in the project.

With this functionnality, we are now allowed to define in our projects a custom board AND a custom variant.
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_board.html#custom-embedded-boards

Here is an example of how to define a custom board with custom variant:

my_project
├── boards
│   └── custom_esp32dev.json
└── variants
    └── custom-esp32dev
        └── pins_arduino.h

custom_esp32dev.json

    "arduino":{
      "ldscript": "esp32_out.ld"
    },

    "extra_flags": "-DARDUINO_ESP32_DEV",
    "f_cpu": "240000000L",
