+fix: provide a proper error message when using `getCloudflareContext` in static routes
+
+`getCloudflareContext` can't be used in static routes, currently a misleading error
+message incorrectly tells the developer that they haven't called `initOpenNextCloudflareForDev`
+in their config file, this change updates such error message to properly clarify what
+the issue is (and how to solve it)
