feat(react-router): add NotFoundErrorData interface for improved type safety

[Sheraff]

Here's a demo of this PR, throwing type-safe notFound errors: https://stackblitz.com/edit/tanstack-router-fyrpy35d?file=src%2Froutes%2Findex.tsx

---

Currently the notFound() function accepts a params object with the shape of NotFoundError that is then passed as props to the notFoundComponent.

Arbitrary data can be send through this mechanism with the data?: any key of NotFoundError, but this any prevents us from creating type-safe "not found" errors.

This PR proposes that users should be able to define their own data shape through the global augmentation of a new interface NotFoundErrorData. For example:

declare module '@tanstack/react-router' {
  interface NotFoundErrorData {
    data: {
      a: string
      b: string
    }
  }
}

declare module '@tanstack/react-router' {
  interface NotFoundErrorData {
    data: 'foo' | 'bar'
  }
}

declare module '@tanstack/react-router' {
  interface NotFoundErrorData {
    data:
      | { type: 'foo', a: number }
      | { type: 'bar', b: string }
  }
}

This PR uses this new interface in a way that will preserve data?: any as the default if it is not globally augmented:

data?: NotFoundErrorData extends { data: infer TData } ? TData : any

might be worth extending the existing Register interface already used for registering the router type, rather than adding a new interface for the same purpose
