Description

### What happened?

Firstly, the debugging docs link to two pages which are missing on the aspect site:

https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_js/blob/main/docs/README.md#debugging

Secondly, setting the same settings for config=debug in my repo doesn't seem to result in a waiting for debugger message, on Windows at least:

```
common:debug --test_timeout=9999
common:debug --test_strategy="exclusive"
common:debug --nocache_test_results
common:debug --test_output="streamed"
```

### Version

Development (host) and target OS/architectures:

Output of `bazel --version`:

Version of the Aspect rules, or other relevant rules from your
`WORKSPACE` or `MODULE.bazel` file:

Language(s) and/or frameworks involved:

### How to reproduce

```shell

```

### Any other information?

Research direction

Open the debugging section linked from docs/README.md and check which two referenced pages are missing. Then reproduce the listed config=debug settings on Windows and verify whether a waiting-for-debugger message appears; done means the links resolve and the documented settings work as described.
