### Description
https://docusaurus.io/docs/api/plugin-methods mentions `beforeDevServer` and `afterDevServer`. When I attempted to use these, I found I couldn't get them to do anything. A [quick search in GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afacebook%2Fdocusaurus+beforeDevServer&type=code) shows only results in `.mdx` files, so it appears to me like the API simply doesn't exist. [Searching for configureWebpack instead](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afacebook%2Fdocusaurus+configureWebpack&type=code), for example, brings up a bunch of results.
### Reproducible demo
https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/examples-classic-b9y9z?file=%2Fdocusaurus.config.js
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run the dev server
2. Observe that `running beforeDevServer` isn't logged
### Expected behavior
I don't really know because it's completely broken, but I'd expect it to at least console.log when starting the dev server, like it does if I configure the plugin manually using `configureWebpack`.
### Actual behavior
Nothing is logged. I get no behaviour change.
### Your environment
_No response_
### Self-service
- [ ] I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.
