docs: fix incorrect [env] section documentation in bunfig.toml (#25634)

## Summary
- Fixed documentation that incorrectly claimed you could use `[env]` as
a TOML section to set environment variables directly
- The `env` option in bunfig.toml only controls whether automatic `.env`
file loading is disabled (via `env = false`)
- Updated to show the correct approaches: using preload scripts or
`.env` files with `--env-file`

## Test plan
- Documentation-only change, no code changes

### `env`
Configure automatic `.env` file loading. By default, Bun automatically loads `.env` files. To disable this behavior:
```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
# Disable automatic .env file loading
env = false
```
You can also use object syntax with the `file` property:
```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
[env]
file = false
```
This is useful in production environments or CI/CD pipelines where you want to rely solely on system environment variables.
Note: Explicitly provided environment files via `--env-file` will still be loaded even when default loading is disabled.
### `console`
Configure console output behavior.

## Environment Variables
You can also set environment variables in your configuration that affect test behavior:
Environment variables for tests should be set using `.env` files. Bun automatically loads `.env` files from your project root. For test-specific variables, create a `.env.test` file:
```toml title="bunfig.toml" icon="settings"
[env]
NODE_ENV = "test"
DATABASE_URL = "postgresql://localhost:5432/test_db"
LOG_LEVEL = "error"
```ini title=".env.test" icon="settings"
NODE_ENV=test
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/test_db
LOG_LEVEL=error
```
[test]
coverage = true
Then load it with `--env-file`:
```bash terminal icon="terminal"
bun test --env-file=.env.test
```
