Bail out of 404 page when favicon.ico doesn't exist (#50795)

## What?

Anytime you open a Next.js application that doesn't have a `favicon.ico`
you'll notice `/_error` is being compiled because the browser requests
`favicon.ico`. This PR ensures the 404 page is not compiled in
development for that request. It helps a little with compilation speed.
