robobun 3af0d23d53 docs: expand single-file executable file embedding documentation (#25408)
## Summary

- Expanded documentation for embedding files in single-file executables
with `with { type: "file" }`
- Added clear explanation of how the import attribute works and path
transformation at build time
- Added examples for reading embedded files with both `Bun.file()` and
Node.js `fs` APIs
- Added practical examples: JSON configs, HTTP static assets, templates,
binary files (WASM, fonts)
- Improved `Bun.embeddedFiles` section with a dynamic asset server
example

## Test plan

- [x] Verified all code examples compile and run correctly with `bun
build --compile`
- [x] Tested `Bun.file()` reads embedded files correctly
- [x] Tested `node:fs` APIs (`readFileSync`, `promises.readFile`,
`stat`) work with embedded files
- [x] Tested `Bun.embeddedFiles` returns correct blob array
- [x] Tested `--asset-naming` flag removes content hashes
