Document all members of bevy_dynamic_plugin (bevyengine#12029)

# Objective

- Some members of `bevy_dynamic_plugin` are not documented.
- Part of bevyengine#3492.

## Solution

- Add documentation to members missing it in `bevy_dynamic_plugin`.
- Update existing documentation for clarity and formatting.

---

## Changelog

- Completely document `bevy_dynamic_plugin`.

+//! Bevy's dynamic plugin loading functionality.
+//!
+//! This crate allows loading dynamic libraries (`.dylib`, `.so`) that export a single
+//! [`Plugin`](bevy_app::Plugin). For usage, see [`dynamically_load_plugin`].
+//!
+//! Note that dynamic linking and loading is inherently unsafe because it allows executing foreign
+//! code. Additionally, Rust does not have a stable ABI and may produce
+//! incompatible libraries across Rust versions, or even subsequent compilations. This will not work
+//! well in scenarios such as modding, but can work if the dynamic plugins and the main app are
+//! built at the same time, such as with Downloadable Content (DLC) packs.
+//!
+//! You may be interested in these safer alternatives:
+//!
+//! - [Bevy Assets - Scripting]: Scripting and modding libraries for Bevy
+//! - [Bevy Assets - Development tools]: Hot reloading and other development functionality
+//! - [`stabby`]: Stable Rust ABI
