docs: document plugin properties migrated from env vars

Per-plugin management docs now describe the properties introduced by the env-var-to-property migration in PR #8498, and stale prose and command-output examples that still referenced the old `DOKKU_*` names have been refreshed. The deprecated env vars table moves out of `environment-variables.md` and into the 0.38.0 migration guide, where it functions as a one-time pointer for upgrading users rather than ongoing reference material.

```shell
dokku builder:set node-js-app skip-cleanup true
```
The property can also be set globally:
```shell
dokku builder:set --global skip-cleanup true
```
The default behavior (cleanup enabled) may be restored by passing an empty value:
```shell
dokku builder:set node-js-app skip-cleanup
```
For backwards compatibility with bootstrap-time configuration, the `DOKKU_SKIP_CLEANUP` environment variable in `/etc/environment` or `~dokku/.dokkurc/*` is still honored when the `skip-cleanup` property is unset. The property is the canonical interface and takes precedence when set.
### Displaying builder reports for an app
You can get a report about the app's builder status using the `builder:report` command:
