Remove the 404 page and use the Redirects feature instead

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. dogehouse/kibbeh/src/pages/404.tsx is redundant since we don’t have a 404 page it is a simple redirect. We should instead use the Redirects feature built into the Next by modifying next.config.js This should significantly speed up redirects and send a 301 redirect response code to browsers.

module.exports = {
  ...,
  async redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/404',
        destination: '/',
        permanent: true,
      },
    ]
  },
}

and looking at it again i don’t see why we would want to turn a 404 into a 301

@amitojsingh366 The reason you’d want to do it is that your essentially utilizing the page as a 301 redirect anyways. There’s just no status code and a client side redirect.
