fix(bundler): resolve the configured bundler package and pass buildPath

Projects overriding `webpackPackageName` (such as @akylas/nativescript-webpack)
fell back to raw webpack/bin/webpack.js, which rejects the `--env.x` flags the
CLI emits. Resolve the configured package so the modern bin is used instead.

Restore `buildPath` in the bundler env. Without it the bundle is written outside
the platform folder and the run never completes.

Flag catalyst from the requested platform, since platform data reports iOS.
