ensure the bun symlink on every run, not only after installing it

The link was made as part of install_bun, so a machine that already had bun never
got one. That is this machine: bun 1.3.14 in ~/.bun/bin, no /usr/local/bin/bun,
and `bun` resolving to nothing at all for root. Nothing has broken yet only
because `pm2 startup` has never been run here — the moment boot persistence is
enabled, all twenty ecosystem apps that say `script: 'bun'` fail at boot and work
perfectly when started by hand.

ensure_bun_symlink now runs whether or not this script did the install, and says
which of the three things happened: made it, found it already correct, or could
not find bun to link. The last records an error, since a missing link is a
reboot-shaped failure rather than a cosmetic one.

Safe across upgrades, which was the question: a symlink resolves by path, not by
inode, and `bun upgrade` replaces the file at $BUN_INSTALL/bin/bun rather than
moving it. Demonstrated by replacing a target with a new file — new inode, link
still resolves. It breaks only if the home directory goes, which breaks bun
anyway.

Also fixed the status line, which reported "not installed" on a machine with bun
in the user's home: it asked root's PATH, which is exactly what has no bun before
the link exists. bun_version now asks whichever copy is there.

This run created the link on this machine — /usr/local/bin/bun -> the account's
copy, and root can now run bun.
