This PR fixes a minor but potentially confusing typo in
docs/en/latest/script.md (and its Chinese counterpart if applicable), where the
terms "Script" and "Plugin" were incorrectly used interchangeably or mislabeled
in a sentence describing APISIX's extension mechanisms.
In Apache APISIX, Scripts and Plugins are distinct concepts:
Plugins are reusable, configurable modules that hook into the request
lifecycle (e.g., key-auth, limit-req).
Scripts refer to inline Lua logic attached directly to a Route (or Service)
for custom, route-specific behavior.
The original wording blurred this distinction, which could mislead users
about APISIX’s architecture. This PR corrects the terminology to ensure clarity
and technical accuracy.
