Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix plugin API documentation to reflect onStart/onEnd
 support (#27068)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary
- Fixes the esbuild migration guide (`docs/bundler/esbuild.mdx`) which
incorrectly stated that `onStart`, `onEnd`, `onDispose`, and `resolve`
were all unimplemented. `onStart` and `onEnd` **are** implemented — only
`onDispose` and `resolve` remain unimplemented.
- Adds missing `onEnd()` documentation section to both
`docs/bundler/plugins.mdx` and `docs/runtime/plugins.mdx`, including
type signature, description, and usage examples.
- Adds `onEnd` to the type reference overview and lifecycle hooks list
in both plugin docs.

Fixes #27083

## Test plan
- Documentation-only change — no code changes.
- Verified the `onEnd` implementation exists in
`src/js/builtins/BundlerPlugin.ts` and matches the documented API.
- Verified `onStart` implementation exists and is fully functional.

-The builder object provides some methods for hooking into parts of the bundling process. Bun implements `onResolve` and `onLoad`; it does not yet implement the esbuild hooks `onStart`, `onEnd`, and `onDispose`, and `resolve` utilities. `initialOptions` is partially implemented, being read-only and only having a subset of esbuild's options; use `config` (same thing but with Bun's `BuildConfig` format) instead.

+Registers a callback to be run after the bundle is complete. The callback receives the [`BuildOutput`](/docs/bundler#outputs) object containing the build results, including output files and any build messages.
+
+```ts title="index.ts" icon="/icons/typescript.svg"
+const result = await Bun.build({
+  entrypoints: ["./app.ts"],
+  outdir: "./dist",
+  plugins: [
+    {

+          }
+        });
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+The callback can return a `Promise`. The build output promise from `Bun.build()` will not resolve until all `onEnd()` callbacks have completed.
+
+```ts title="index.ts" icon="/icons/typescript.svg"
+const result = await Bun.build({
+  entrypoints: ["./app.ts"],
+  outdir: "./dist",
+  plugins: [
