Bun plugin does not set `bun/bin` path like it does for go and python

[ferntheplant]

Describe the bug After successfully installing bun with mise use -g bun and installed some global package like bun add -g @biomejs/biome I cannot run biome directly from my shell via $ biome --version because ~/.bun/bin is not on my $PATH

For example with go I can install go with mise, run go install <some package>, and immediately be able to run the package in my shell with <some package> --version

To Reproduce From a fresh mise install run the following

~$ mise use -g bun
~$ mise use -g go
~$ bun add -g @biomejs/biome
~$ biome --version
zsh: command not found: biome
~$ .bun/bin/biome --version
Version: 1.6.1
~$ go install github.com/tomwright/dasel/v2/cmd/dasel@master
~$ dasel --version
dasel version development-v2.7.1-0.20240318190008-1cbdc830b263

Expected behavior I would expect globally installed bun packages to be accessible in my shell by having ~/.bun/bin on my path. The official bun install script sets this for you and emits a command to add to your bashrc in case the automatic path update didn't work.

1. shims are missing, run mise reshim to create them
   Missing shims: dasel

The dasel shim missing is irrelevant to the bun bin packages not being on path

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

npm adds symlinks to ~/.local/share/mise/installs/node/18/bin/ and that's typical behavior for languages in mise. This effectively locks the node version to the globally installed packages which is useful in case they're not compatible with future versions. That said it is annoying because updating node versions gets rid of all of your global packages.

It looks like we could probably retain this behavior via something that uses the install.globalDir config, though I didn't see an env var way to configure that at first glance. Even that would require a shim though, so it wouldn't be ideal.

@Jarred-Sumner any thoughts on the best way to support bun? Can we use a single directory for all bun versions? Will bun be compatible with packages installed with different bun versions?

I am a little hesitant to use ~/.bun just because no other language uses a global directory like that but it could probably be done.

Ah yea that makes sense - I'm not really used to considering having multiple versions installed simultaneously so the global ~.bun/bin dir didn't seem like a concern. For now I manually added it to my path so I can use global bun packages and I don't plan on having multiple bun version simultaneously installed so it won't cause any issues.

I guess optimally bun would place it's bin dir alongside itself like does golang and python.
