Use bun as a task executor

Feature description

Document or provide method to run graphile worker with Typescript tasks using bun

Motivating example

I use bun for a project, and would like to use it inside my tasks, but the instructions in the graphile worker docs only shows how to use ts-node with graphile worker (shown below)

Supporting development

I...

• am interested in building this feature myself
• am interested in collaborating on building this feature
• am willing to help testing this feature before it's released
• am willing to write a test-driven test suite for this feature (before it exists)
• am a Graphile sponsor ❤️
• have an active support or consultancy contract with Graphile

This is possible by running bunx --bun graphile-worker .... The --bun flag essentially replaces internal calls to node. It's a pretty simple solution. I can test it out for a couple days just to make sure it's not a totally broken way to do it, then can PR documentation for it (assuming that's ok w/ @benjie)

I think adding something to the docs saying something along the line of the following would be good 👍

While bun is not an officially supported runtime for Graphile Worker, users have reported success when executing bunx --bun graphile-worker. The --bun is necessary to ensure that child processes also run using bun rather than node.

I have a worker/index.ts file that runs the runner from a bun index.ts package.json script.

import { run } from "graphile-worker";
import preset from "./graphile.config";

async function main() {
  const runner = await run({ preset });
  await runner.promise;
}

main().catch((err) => {
  console.error(err);
  process.exit(1);
});

It works well, and cuts through a lot of the TypeScript packaging pain points. However, I am noticing memory leaks that I suspect have something to do with Bun. So, use at your own risk 😄
