test(e2e): add action-forward-loop fixtures and tests

- Adds /nextjs-compat/action-forward-loop fixture with middleware rewrite
- Adds /nextjs-compat/action-forward-loop-rewrite as rewrite target
- Adds error boundary component using unstable_isUnrecognizedActionError
- Adds E2E tests: middleware rewrite + action POST, not-found header contract
