Failing tests for 404 back/forward (vercel#50047)

## What?

After landing vercel#49855 I found a few more edge cases with not-found not
behaving as expected:
- When navigating directly to a not-found page (e.g. `/testabc`) the
error boundary would not reset as there were multiple levels being
triggered at the same time.
- When running in production navigating back/forward to the not found
page caused the page to become empty

Both issues are fixed by this PR. I've added tests for both.

## How?

- Ensures `asNotFound` is not set on the layout-router, it causes all
levels to trigger not-found, even though only app-router needs it
- Ensures navigations to 404 are always a mpaNavigation (browser
navigation) instead of trying to do a client-side navigation (mirrors
what we do in `pages`)
