Pamela Chia 013af4ed58 feat(www): homepage json-ld, canonical, 404 links (#49533)
An agent-readiness scan of supabase.com (is-agentic.com, public report)
flagged that the homepage serves no structured data and no canonical tag
in raw HTML, and that the 404 page gives crawlers and agents no recovery
path. I fixed both.

**Changed:**
- **Homepage structured data**: the raw HTML now carries Organization
and WebSite JSON-LD plus `<link rel="canonical"
href="https://supabase.com">`. The schema builders already existed in
`lib/json-ld.ts` but were never wired to any page; this reuses the exact
inline-script pattern from the blog post pages. The canonical is
hardcoded to the production origin on purpose: `SITE_ORIGIN` resolves to
the branch URL on previews.
- **404 recovery links**: the 404 body now links to the docs, the
sitemap, and llms.txt, so a dead URL leads somewhere instead of a dead
end. The decorative giant "404" backdrop is a `div` instead of a second
`h1`, marked `aria-hidden`, and gets `pointer-events-none`: browser
testing showed the absolutely positioned backdrop was silently
swallowing clicks on the new links (positioned elements paint above
static siblings for hit-testing even when visually behind).
- **Drift-guard test**: `md-alternates.test.ts` asserted the literal
one-liner `alternates: mdAlternates('<slug>')`, which the canonical
wrapper breaks. I broadened the assertion to accept the spread shape
too; the rule it guards (every markdown-served slug advertises its `.md`
sibling) is unchanged and still enforced.

## To test
Tested locally against the dev server:
- [x] `curl -s localhost:3000` and parse the two `application/ld+json`
blocks: both valid JSON, types Organization and WebSite
- [x] `curl -s localhost:3000 | grep canonical`: expect `<link
rel="canonical" href="https://supabase.com"/>`, with the existing
`text/markdown` alternate link still present
- [x] `curl -s localhost:3000/some-nonexistent-page`: expect HTTP 404
with hrefs to `/docs`, `/sitemap.xml`, `/llms.txt` and exactly one
`<h1>` in the body

On the Vercel preview (verified via curl + Playwright browser run):
- [x] View source on the preview homepage: the two JSON-LD blocks
present and a canonical pointing at `https://supabase.com` (prod origin,
even on the preview host)
- [x] Open a nonexistent preview URL: 404 page renders the new link row
under the "Head back" button, visually unchanged otherwise (screenshots
in session records)
- [x] Added: click each recovery link: element hit-testing returns the
anchor for all three, and clicking Sitemap navigates to a valid
`/sitemap.xml` document (this check caught the pointer-events
regression, fixed in this PR)

## Linear
- Part of GROWTH-1124 (kept open: remaining scan findings are tracked in
a sub-issue)
