fix: address review comments on next/document getInitialProps

- Wire getInitialProps into the production Pages Router entry (pages-server-entry.ts), fixing a dev/prod parity gap where custom document props were silently dropped in production
- Wire getInitialProps into renderErrorPage in dev-server.ts so error pages (404, 500) also call the custom document's getInitialProps
- Propagate getInitialProps errors instead of silently swallowing them; log and rethrow so bugs are visible
- Fix defaultGetInitialProps to call ctx.renderPage() instead of returning a hardcoded empty string, matching Next.js semantics
- Pass res (ServerResponse) to buildDocumentContext so custom documents can access ctx.res to set headers
- Add E2E tests: error page uses custom document, basic document structure present, getInitialProps pathname context
