robobun e88d151241 docs: add v1.2.17 features to documentation (#23089)
## Summary

Updates documentation to include features released in Bun v1.2.17 that
were missing from the docs:

-  HTML imports ahead-of-time bundling (already documented)
-  columnTypes & declaredTypes in bun:sqlite (already documented, just
not visible in diff as it was recent)
-  bun info command (already documented)
-  Node.js compatibility improvements (partially documented, added
missing details)
-  --unhandled-rejections flag (added)
-  CLAUDE.md generation in bun init (added)

## Changes

- Document `--unhandled-rejections` CLI flag for configuring promise
rejection handling
- Document `CLAUDE.md` file generation in `bun init` when Claude CLI is
detected
- Update Node.js compatibility notes with recent improvements:
  - `child_process.fork()` execArgv support
  - Zstandard compression in `node:zlib`
  - Optional options parameter in `fs.glob`
  - `tls.getCACertificates()` implementation

## Test plan

Documentation changes only - no code changes to test.

Scaffold an empty Bun project with the interactive `bun init` command.
```bash
$ bun init
bun init helps you get started with a minimal project and tries to
guess sensible defaults. Press ^C anytime to quit.
package name (quickstart):
entry point (index.ts):
Done! A package.json file was saved in the current directory.
+ index.ts
+ .gitignore
+ tsconfig.json (for editor auto-complete)
+ README.md
To get started, run:
bun run index.ts
```
Press `enter` to accept the default answer for each prompt, or pass the `-y` flag to auto-accept the defaults.
{% details summary="How `bun init` works" %}
`bun init` is a quick way to start a blank project with Bun. It guesses with sane defaults and is non-destructive when run multiple times.
![Demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/709451/183006613-271960a3-ff22-4f7c-83f5-5e18f684c836.gif)
It creates:
- a `package.json` file with a name that defaults to the current directory name
- a `tsconfig.json` file or a `jsconfig.json` file, depending if the entry point is a TypeScript file or not
- an entry point which defaults to `index.ts` unless any of `index.{tsx, jsx, js, mts, mjs}` exist or the `package.json` specifies a `module` or `main` field
- a `README.md` file
AI Agent rules (disable with `$BUN_AGENT_RULE_DISABLED=1`):
- a `CLAUDE.md` file when Claude CLI is detected (disable with `CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_RULE_DISABLED` env var)
- a `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` file to guide [Cursor AI](https://cursor.sh) to use Bun instead of Node.js and npm when Cursor is detected
If you pass `-y` or `--yes`, it will assume you want to continue without asking questions.
At the end, it runs `bun install` to install `@types/bun`.

## React
The `--react` flag will scaffold a React project:
```bash
$ bun init --react
```
The `--react` flag accepts the following values:
- `tailwind` - Scaffold a React project with Tailwind CSS
- `shadcn` - Scaffold a React project with Shadcn/UI and Tailwind CSS
### React + TailwindCSS
This will create a React project with Tailwind CSS configured with Bun's bundler and dev server.
```bash
$ bun init --react=tailwind
```
### React + @shadcn/ui
This will create a React project with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS configured with Bun's bundler and dev server.
```bash
$ bun init --react=shadcn
```
