Improve error message when pages don't work (#398)

Browse Source 
On Matrix there was a recent discussion about the quality of the error page that _Codeberg Pages_ displays. Pixelcode had posted this relevant points:

> Currently, the message reads as if written for the website's owner. I think it should be rephrased so that visitors who encounter the error understand that:
> 1. This page is an error message, not the actual website. (e.g. Error 424 instead of just 424)
> 2. The website is hosted on Codeberg Pages, not on a server controlled by the owner.
> 3. There's perhaps a configuration error or an internal server issue.
> 4. It might take a little until the website is up again.

 In particular the point about the "dual audience" of _Codeberg Pages_ user/website owner and website visitor seems important, to make sure that both audiences understand that there's an error.
 Also the error can be due to _Codeberg Pages_ being down or due to the user misconfiguring their page.

 I've taken a first stab at trying to cover those 4 points, but of course the exact improvements are up for debate, but thought it would be easiest to provide a concrete suggestion to get us started!
