WIP: show somewhat dynamic rendering based on dynamic constraints

[jurgenbelien]

Changes

Head Start would benefit from more dynamic routing where:

• a single routing pattern could be connected to different DatoCMS models
• where part of the records for a DatoCMS model are pre-rendered and part are server-rendered.

In the current setup this is difficult to achieve because the @pages/*.astro files handle many concerns:

• router: match URLs
• controller: fetch data needed to define static paths, fetch data for template, possibly other logic
• view: render specific template

This PR introduces a new architecture pattern to allow mixing models and mixing pre-rendered and server-rendered pages by using:

• src/views/ that are only concerned with fetching record data and rendering a template with it
• src/pages/ that are only concerned with route matching, fetching collection data to determine paths, defining if a page should be pre-rendered or not.

Since both catch all routes now just have a single file, we could change this to:

pages/[locale]/
  [...serverPath].astro
  [...staticPath].astro

[jbmoelker]

Are these actually used in this server-rendered route? Or is this now the catch all route in production?
